DescriptionNVD

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.

AnalysisAI

Denial of service in FreeIPMI versions before 1.16.18 allows remote attackers to crash the ipmi-oem client by sending malformed IPMI response messages that trigger stack-based buffer overflows in the 'dell get-active-directory-config' and 'fujitsu get-sel-entry-long-text' subcommands. The flaw is client-side: a victim must invoke the affected subcommand against an attacker-controlled or compromised IPMI endpoint. …

RemediationAI

24 hours: Inventory all systems running FreeIPMI and document version numbers (check with ipmi-oem --version). 7 days: Restrict network access to IPMI endpoints from FreeIPMI client systems using firewall rules; disable unnecessary IPMI services on endpoints not actively used. …
