Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) System Interface (SI) driver. This vulnerability occurs when the driver fails to return to a normal operational state after a message allocation failure. This improper state handling can lead to the driver not starting correctly or remaining in an abnormal condition, potentially resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected system.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-05-28 11:08:14 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ipmi:si: Return state to normal if message allocation fails

There were places where nothing would get started if a message
allocation failed, so the driver needs to return to normal state.
