Capitalware Product Advisory – MQ Auditor

A bug was discovered in Capitalware’s MQ Auditor related to PCF response message for the PCF MQCMD_INQUIRE_Q_NAMES command. The PCF response message to the MQCMD_INQUIRE_Q_NAMES command has 2 parts: list of queues and list of queue types. To format the queue types (i.e. local, alias, etc.), the code used a 1024 byte static array. The […]
