Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-46064)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local privileged user to disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a heap-based buffer over-read in ibmasm_send_i2o_message() when processing a crafted dot command header from a user-supplied buffer. A local privileged user can supply a small buffer with inflated header fields to disclose sensitive information.
The over-read data is forwarded to the service processor over MMIO.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
