What is CVE-2017-3744?

The IMM2 firmware in Lenovo System x servers contains a vulnerability that allows remote commands initiated by tools such as LXCA to be logged in the First Failure Data Capture (FFDC) service logs. If the FFDC log is generated while the command is executing, it may inadvertently capture sensitive information, including clear text login credentials. This access to exported FFDC logs can pose significant risks for authorized users, who may gain unauthorized visibility into remote command data.
