Power System Insufficient Entropy
Publisher and source text is retained separately from QFinch interpretation.
QFinch assessment
IBM PowerVM Hypervisor Platform KeyStore (PKS) and virtual TPM FW1110.00 through FW1110.20, FW1060.00 through FW1060.71, and FW950.00 through FW950.H2 use persistent storage key seeds that result in an AES key with reduced strength. An attacker with access to the service processor or HMC could exploit this weakness to derive the encryption key and access the data.

Remediation
Apply the vendor-supported fixed release or mitigation, then verify the affected component is no longer reachable.
- Confirm the affected product and reachable code path exist in your environment.
- Apply the vendor-supported patch or mitigation from the primary advisory.
- Rescan the exact deployed revision and retain verification evidence.
