Summary

The CIM Server in IBM Director versions 5.20.1 and earlier is prone to a denial of service vulnerability. This flaw allows remote attackers to overload the server by exploiting idle connections, leading to excessive CPU usage, connection slot exhaustion, and potential daemon crashes. As a result, legitimate users may experience service interruptions, highlighting the need for administrators to evaluate their systems and apply necessary patches to mitigate this risk.
