Protected-register disclosure via integer overflow
Published Aug 19, 2026 · Updated Aug 20, 2026
Integer overflow in IBM Power Systems Firmware allows local users to read protected hardware registers via a crafted service-processor command. IBM has not disclosed the affected host-firmware routine or the arithmetic operation that overflows while processing the command. Exploitation requires high-privilege service access to the service processor; IBM reports only limited disclosure and an unspecified availability effect.
