General fixes

Fixed an issue that can cause the 7063-CR1 HMC to intermittently hang. For more information, please review this document: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7157787
Fixed an issue that can cause SRC E212E161 to be called home due to too many open files caused by running the lslic command many times in a short period of time.
Fixed an issue causing the GUI partition Virtual networks page to fail to launch with the error "Error launching task an internal error occurred. Please contact your service administrator. [Cannot invoke "java.util.List.iterator()" because "networkBridges" is null]".
Fixed a rare issue that can cause an I/O firmware update to be skipped for some I/O adapters when more than one I/O adapter in an Enterprise BMC-based managed system is selected for update on the GUI.
Fixed the Call home management outbound connectivity test to show the IP addresses obtained from using DNS resolution of esupport.ibm.com.
Fixed an issue that can cause SRC E212E136 to be called home due to a failure to delete a temporary file which leads to a full / filesystem on the HMC. This issue can occur when the HMC is managing Enterprise BMC-based managed systems.

Security fixes

Fixed less vulnerability: CVE-2022-48624
Fixed Apache httpd vulnerability: CVE-2024-27316

Known Issues

If log in to the HMC GUI is failing with this error for LDAP or auto-managed users: Error: "Logon Error: Invalid credential or Timeout. Please try again after some time, if it repeats, please follow troubleshooting steps from IBM support."
Use the following troubleshooting steps:
- Check whether the user is LDAP or auto-managed authentication type.
- If so, run the following command to change the LDAP configuration:
  chhmcldap -o s --timelimit 30 --bindtimelimit 20
- If log in to the GUI still fails, run the following command:
  chhmcldap -o s --timelimit 30 --bindtimelimit 10
