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.
IBM PowerVM Hypervisor could allow a system administrator to obtain sensitive partition information.
IBM PowerVM Hypervisor could reveal sensitive partition data to a system administrator.
IBM PowerVM Hypervisor could allow a local attacker with control a partition that has been assigned SRIOV virtual function (VF) to cause a denial of service to a peer partition or arbitrary data corruption.
IBM PowerVM Hypervisor could allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information if they gain service access to the HMC.
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.
After performing a sequence of Power FW950, FW1010 maintenance operations a SRIOV network adapter can be improperly configured leading to desired VEPA configuration being disabled. IBM X-Force ID: 229695.
An attacker that gains service access to the FSP (POWER9 only) or gains admin authority to a partition can compromise partition firmware.
IBM PowerVM Hypervisor could allow an attacker that gains service access to the FSP can read and write arbitrary host system memory through a series of carefully crafted service procedures.
IBM PowerVM Hypervisor FW860, FW940, FW950, and FW1010, through a specific sequence of VM management operations could lead to a violation of the isolation between peer VMs. IBM X-Force ID: 210019.
IBM PowerVM Hypervisor could allow a privileged user to gain access to another VM due to assigning duplicate WWPNs.
IBM PowerVM hypervisor could allow a local user to create a specially crafted sequence of hypervisor calls from a partition that could crash the system.
IBM PowerVM Hypervisor could allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information if they gain service access to the FSP.
