The remote host is missing AIX PTF U818843, which is related to the security of the package bos.mp64.

The AIX kernel contains a buffer which can overflow. A local attacker may exploit this overflow to execute arbitrary code in kernel mode or create a denial of service by causing an unexpected system halt.

The following files are vulnerable :

/usr/lib/boot/unix_64 /usr/lib/boot/unix_mp /usr/lib/boot/unix_up.
