Good day.

Is there anybody who uses version mentioned in the title on AIX
platform?

No response is good news, because this version has criminal bug -
allows to connect without password...

IBM was notified of this last week, investigated it, and validated it. The
APAR number is IC80345.

The bug is only in the 11.50.UC9W1 and 11.50.FC9W1 fix packs (32-bit and
64-bit) for AIX; it is not in 11.50.xC9; it is not in 11.70; it is not
applicable to any other platform. It relates to the way AIX handles shadow
passwords, which is slightly different from other systems.

The PID for AIX was withdrawn last week and no-one should be able to
download it any more. Customers who have installed that PID should contact
IBM Technical Support. The obvious workaround is to revert to the
11.50.xC9 release, but discuss alternatives with IBM Technical Support.
IIRC, the PID was released in mid-October.

I'm not sure. I'm very bad at predicting things, especially when they
haven't happened yet.

As of earlier today (2011-12-14), there is a replacement PID (and
11.50.xC9W1 was a PID - post-interim drop - rather than a fix pack; I
misspoke) for AIX on Fix Central. The detailed version is 11.50.UC9W1X1
and 11.50.FC9W1X1, though that might be shown as 11.50.xC9W1 on the
download page.
