KEV
KEV Icon
CWE ID Description
CWE-190 The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. When this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability affects IBM Power Systems Firmware versions FW1120.00, FW1110.00 through FW1110.30, and FW1060.00 through FW1060.80. An attacker with service access to the service processor can send a specially crafted command to leak hardware register contents that should be inaccessible. This could lead to limited confidentiality or availability impacts on the affected system.

Detection Guidance

Detection requires checking the firmware version of IBM Power Systems. Use the service processor interface or system management tools to query the firmware version. Compare against affected versions: FW1120.00, FW1110.00 through FW1110.30, and FW1060.00 through FW1060.80.

Impact Analysis

The impact includes potential unauthorized access to sensitive hardware register data, which could compromise system confidentiality. It may also cause limited availability issues for the affected host system, though the overall severity is medium with a CVSS score of 6.7.

Mitigation Strategies

Apply the updated firmware versions provided by IBM: FW1110.31, FW1120.01, or newer. No workarounds are available, so updating the firmware is the only mitigation method. Check IBM's support page for specific model updates and installation instructions.
