Doc Text:
A flaw was found in FreeIPMI. Specifically, the `ipmi-oem` client command, which implements Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) OEM commands, contains exploitable buffer overflows. A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending specially crafted response messages to the `ipmi-oem` client, leading to a denial of service (DoS) condition and making the system unavailable.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-06-03 04:01:13 UTC
ipmi-oem in FreeIPMI before 1.16.18 has exploitable buffer overflows on response messages. The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) specification defines a set of interfaces for platform management. It is implemented by a large number of hardware manufacturers to support system management. It is most commonly used for sensor reading (e.g., CPU temperatures through the ipmi-sensors command within FreeIPMI) and remote power control (the ipmipower command). The ipmi-oem client command implements a set of a IPMI OEM commands for specific hardware vendors. If a user has supported hardware, they may wish to use the ipmi-oem command to send a request to a server to retrieve specific information. Two subcommands "ipmi-oem dell get-active-directory-config" and "ipmi-oem fujitsu get-sel-entry-long-text" were found to have exploitable buffer overflows on response messages.
