IBM PowerVM Hypervisor Platform KeyStore (PKS) and virtual TPM FW1110.00 through FW1110.20, FW1060.00 through FW1060.71, and FW950.00 through FW950.H2 use persistent storage key seeds that result in an AES key with reduced strength. An attacker with access to the service processor or HMC could exploit this weakness to derive the encryption key and access the data.
Power Systems Firmware FW1120.00, FW1110.00 through FW1110.30, and FW1060.00 through FW1060.80 is affected by a vulnerability in the host firmware boot process image validation path. An attacker with service access to the service processor can supply a maliciously crafted code update image, allowing arbitrary code to be executed on the host system. Successful exploitation could result in a confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact to the affected host system.
IBM PowerVM Hypervisor FW1110.00 through FW1110.20, FW1060.00 through FW1060.71, and FW950.00 through FW950.H1 A carefully crafted OS hypervisor call can cause the PowerVM hypervisor to crash or compromise OS memory integrity.
IBM PowerVM Hypervisor FW1110.00 through FW1110.20, and FW1060.00 through FW1060.71 could allow an attacker with physical access to the Transparent Memory Encryption (TME) hardware to decrypt encrypted memory due to insufficient cryptographic entropy.
IBM OPENBMC FW1110.00 through FW1110.20, and FW1060.00 through FW1060.71 allows ReadOnly users to escalate privileges and give themselves administrator privileges.
IBM OPENBMC FW1110.00 through FW1110.20, and FW1060.00 through FW1060.71 allows a user to supply a password with a resource dump request stores that password into the BMC audit log where an admin user can see it.
