Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in IBM Power Systems up to FW950.H2/FW1060.80/FW1110.30/FW1120.00. It has been classified as critical. Affected is an unknown code of the component ASMI Web Interface. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. This is going to have an impact on integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

IBM Power Systems Firmware 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 ASMI web interface. An unauthenticated attacker on the management network can cause the ASMI web server to crash with possible memory corruption and generate an error log; hosted partitions are not affected. The ASMI web interface will restart automatically; however, repeated exploitation could result in a sustained loss of access to the ASMI management interface, resulting in an integrity and availability impact.

The advisory is available at ibm.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2026-16828 since 07/24/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available. The structure of the vulnerability defines a possible price range of USD $5k-$25k at the moment (estimation calculated on 08/19/2026).

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.
