This Power System update is being released to address CVE 2019-6260

Product:             Power 9 Systems

Software version:    OP910, OP920

Operating system(s): BMC, Firmware

Reference #:         0869130

Security Bulletin

Summary

Power9: In response to an arbitrary access to the BMC's physical address space
from the host, a new Power System firmware update is being released to address
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures issue number CVE 2019-6260.
IBM engineers discovered that configuration of the Baseboard Management
Controller (BMC) hardware features potentially left it open to unauthenticated
compromise from the host and from the BMC console. It could allow the host full
access to BMC memory and flash, violating the principle of BMC and host being
in separate trust domains.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE 2019-6260

DESCRIPTION: The ASPEED AST2400 and AST2500 Baseboard Management Controller
(BMC) hardware and firmware implement Advanced High-performance Bus (AHB)
bridges, which allow arbitrary read and write access to the BMC's physical
address space from the host (or from the network in unusual cases where the BMC
console uart is attached to a serial concentrator). This CVE applies to the
specific cases of iLPC2AHB bridge Pt I, iLPC2AHB bridge Pt II, PCIe VGA P2A
bridge, DMA from/to arbitrary BMC memory via X-DMA, UART-based SoC Debug
interface, LPC2AHB bridge, PCIe BMC P2A bridge, and Watchdog setup.

CVSS Base Score: 6.7

CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/

CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined

CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
