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.

IBM PowerVM Hypervisor FW1110.00 through FW1110.20, FW1060.00 through FW1060.71, and FW950.00 through FW950.H2 could allow a local attacker with administrative privileges to decrypt encrypted data due to certain hypervisor calls utilizing less entropy than requested.

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.

A carefully crafted OS hypervisor call can cause the PowerVM hypervisor to crash or compromise OS memory integrity.
