IBM PowerVM Hypervisor FW860, FW930, FW940, and FW950 could allow a local user to create a specially crafted sequence of hypervisor calls from a partition that could crash the system. IBM X-Force ID: 203557.

Weakness

The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component.
