{"id":"CVE-2026-17097","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2026-17097","generatedAt":"2026-10-28T10:40:33.962Z","title":"IBM PowerVM Hypervisor FW1120.00, FW1110.00 through FW1110.30, FW1060.00 through FW1060.80, and FW950.00 through FW950.H2 is affected by a vulnerability in the PowerVM hypervisor call interface.","description":"IBM PowerVM Hypervisor FW1120.00, FW1110.00 through FW1110.30, FW1060.00 through FW1060.80, and FW950.00 through FW950.H2 is affected by a vulnerability in the PowerVM hypervisor call interface. An attacker with root access to a guest partition can issue a specially crafted hypervisor call causing a virtual processor to become permanently unresponsive, requiring a full platform re-IPL to restore normal operation. In some cases this may also cause the guest to inject a small amount of data into hypervisor or partition memory with no attacker control over the target location. Successful exploitation results in an integrity and availability impact to the managed system.","published":"2026-08-19T20:17:13.000Z","lastModified":"2026-08-25T20:42:33.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"psirt@us.ibm.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":6.7,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-129"],"affected":["ibm/power system s1122 \\(9824-22a\\) firmware","ibm/power system s1124 \\(9824-42a\\) firmware","ibm/power system s1122s \\(9824-22b\\) firmware","ibm/power system s1114 \\(9824-41b\\) firmware","ibm/power system l1122 \\(9856-22h\\) firmware","ibm/power system l1124 \\(9856-42h\\) firmware","ibm/power system e1150 \\(9043-mru\\) firmware","ibm/power system s1112 \\(9242-21b\\) firmware","ibm/power system s1112 \\(9242-21t\\) firmware","ibm/power system e1080 \\(9080-hex\\) firmware","ibm/power system s1022 \\(9105-22a\\) firmware","ibm/power system s1024 \\(9105-42a\\) firmware","ibm/power system s1022s \\(9105-22b\\) firmware","ibm/power system s1014 \\(9105-41b\\) firmware","ibm/power system l1022 \\(9786-22h\\) firmware","ibm/power system l1024 \\(9786-42h\\) firmware","ibm/power system e1050 \\(9043-mrx\\) firmware","ibm/power system s1012 \\(9028-21b\\) firmware","ibm/power system e1180 \\(9080-heu\\) firmware","ibm/power system s922 \\(9009-22g\\) firmware","ibm/power system h922 \\(9223-22s\\) firmware","ibm/power system s914 \\(9009-41g\\) firmware","ibm/power system s924 \\(9009-42g\\) firmware","ibm/power system h924 \\(9223-42s\\) firmware","ibm/power system e950 \\(9040-mr9\\) firmware","ibm/power system e980 \\(9080-m9s\\) firmware"],"epss":{"score":0.00142,"percentile":0.03519,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.14%).
