Doc Text:
A flaw was found in FreeIPMI. This vulnerability involves a stack-based buffer overflow that occurs when a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) sends an oversized response during data reading. An attacker could exploit this by tricking an administrator into running FreeIPMI commands against a malicious BMC. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution, allowing the attacker to run their own code on the affected system.
