# IBM Releases Security Update for Db2 Mirror Due to Critical Vulnerability

IBM has released a security update for its high availability database solution, IBM Db2 Mirror for i, following the discovery of a serious vulnerability. On September 30, 2026, the company published a security advisory detailing a privilege escalation vulnerability identified as CVE-2026-96012 in the product's management graphical user interface.

The affected versions include IBM Db2 Mirror for i 7.6, 7.5, and 7.4. IBM has provided temporary fix programs (PTFs) for these versions: SJ11625 for 7.6, SJ11624 for 7.5, and SJ11623 for 7.4.
