Vulnerability description
DayBreach CVE AI Research
CVE-2026-96261 has vendor, distribution, patch and security-source records on file. We can compare them and prepare an explanation linked to the evidence.
IBM Power Systems Firmware FW1060.00 through FW1060.81 is affected by a vulnerability in host firmware configuration parsing. An attacker with authenticated service-level access to the service processor can write specially crafted configuration data, causing the host firmware boot stack to crash with possible memory corruption during system initialisation, resulting in an integrity and availability impact to the managed system.
