RE: Security Bulletin: IBM i Access for Windows affected by vulnerability CVE-2016-0287. (2016.06.28)

Looks to me like IBMi access is maybe storing passwords unencrypted in the registry.

If your .Net app stores it's own user/password info I wouldn't think you would have an issue.

Just my interpretation.

I never store IBM i access passwords except encrypted in my apps.

Does anyone have any information on what this bug is all about. No details are on the CVE or from IBM.

I'm hoping it's not a remotely exploitable bug in their .NET data driver.
