| IBM Power Systems Firmware FW1120.00, FW1110.00 through FW1110.30, FW1060.00 through FW1060.80, FW950.00 through FW950.H2, OP940.00 through OP940.a1 (Power9), and OP940.00 through OP940.81 (Power HMC) is affected by a vulnerability in the interface between the BMC/FSP and the host system. An attacker with service account or root access to the BMC/FSP can read and write arbitrary regions of host system memory, giving full control over the host system and all hosted partitions, resulting in a confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. |
| IBM Power Systems Firmware FW950.00 through FW950.H2, OP940.00 through OP940.a1 (Power9), and OP940.00 - OP940.81 (Power HMC) is affected by a vulnerability in host firmware NVRAM parsing. An attacker with root access to a guest partition on an OpenPOWER system can write a specially crafted NVRAM image, causing the host firmware boot stage to crash with possible memory corruption. This condition persists until operator intervention — clearing NVRAM via the service processor — to restore normal operation. This vulnerability only affects OpenPOWER systems; systems running PowerVM are not affected. Successful exploitation results in an integrity and availability impact to the managed system. |
| IBM PowerVM Hypervisor FW950.00 through FW950.E0, FW1050.00 through FW1050.50, and FW1060.00 through FW1060.40 could allow a local privileged user to cause a denial of service by issuing a specially crafted IBM i hypervisor call that would disclose memory contents or consume excessive memory resources. |
| IBM Flexible Service Processor (FSP) FW860.00 through FW860.B3, FW950.00 through FW950.C0, FW1030.00 through FW1030.61, FW1050.00 through FW1050.21, and FW1060.00 through FW1060.10 has static credentials which may allow network users to gain service privileges to the FSP. |
| IBM PowerVM Platform KeyStore (IBM PowerVM Hypervisor FW950.00 through FW950.90, FW1030.00 through FW1030.60, FW1050.00 through FW1050.20, and FW1060.00 through FW1060.10 functionality can be compromised if an attacker gains service access to the HMC. An attacker that gains service access to the HMC can locate and through a series of service procedures decrypt data contained in the Platform KeyStore. |
| An internally discovered vulnerability in PowerVM on IBM Power9 and Power10 systems could allow an attacker with privileged user access to a logical partition to perform an undetected violation of the isolation between logical partitions which could lead to data leakage or the execution of arbitrary code in other logical partitions on the same physical server. IBM X-Force ID: 252706. |
| The POWER systems FSP is vulnerable to unauthenticated logins through the serial port/TTY interface. This vulnerability can be more critical if the serial port is connected to a serial-over-lan device. IBM X-Force ID: 217095. |
| The IBM Power 9 OP910, OP920, and FW910 boot firmware's bootloader is responsible for loading and validating the initial boot firmware image that drives the rest of the system's hardware initialization. The bootloader firmware contains a buffer overflow vulnerability such that, if an attacker were able to replace the initial boot firmware image with a very carefully crafted and sufficiently large, malicious replacement, it could cause the bootloader, during the load of that image, to overwrite its own instruction memory and circumvent secure boot protections, install trojans, etc. IBM X-Force ID: 154345. |
