2DescriptionCVE.org
IBM PowerVM Hypervisor FW1120.00, FW1110.00 through FW1110.30, and FW1060.00 through FW1060.80 is affected by a vulnerability in host firmware configuration parsing. An attacker with authenticated service-level access to the service processor can write specially crafted configuration data, causing the host firmware boot stack to crash with possible memory corruption during system initialisation, resulting in an integrity and availability impact to the managed system.
AnalysisAI
Stack-based buffer overflow in IBM PowerVM Hypervisor's host firmware configuration parsing allows authenticated service-level access holders to crash the firmware boot stack with possible memory corruption during system initialization, impacting integrity and availability of the managed Power system. Affected firmware spans three release trains: FW1060.00-FW1060.80, FW1110.00-FW1110.30, and FW1120.00. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires authenticated service-level access to the IBM Power system's service processor (Flexible Service Processor/FSP) - a privileged management interface separate from normal OS or hypervisor user accounts. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.3 with vector AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:H signals a local, low-complexity attack with changed scope that delivers high availability impact and limited integrity impact - plausible for a firmware boot stack crash. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Apply the vendor-released firmware patch per IBM advisory https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7283238 (EUVD-2026-62743). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all PowerVM Hypervisor systems in your environment running affected firmware versions (FW1060.00-FW1060.80, FW1110.00-FW1110.30, FW1120.00). …
