DescriptionCVE.org

ipmi-oem in FreeIPMI before 1.6.19 has a stack-based buffer over-read in ipmi_oem_fujitsu_get_sel_entry_long_text in ipmi-oem/ipmi-oem-fujitsu.c when a BMC provides a short response, a different vulnerability than CVE-2026-50031 (which has different affected versions).

AnalysisAI

Stack-based buffer over-read in FreeIPMI's ipmi-oem Fujitsu OEM module crashes the client process when a Fujitsu BMC returns a shorter-than-expected response to a System Event Log query. All FreeIPMI versions before 1.6.19 are affected; this is a distinct vulnerability from CVE-2026-50031, which covers different version ranges. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires: (1) the target system running FreeIPMI before 1.6.19; (2) active use of the ipmi-oem subcommand against a Fujitsu BMC specifically querying SEL entries via the Fujitsu OEM extension; and (3) attacker ability to control the BMC response - either via direct compromise of the Fujitsu BMC hardware, or by holding a MITM position on the IPMI management network to intercept and replace the response with a short payload. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The vendor-assigned CVSS 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) presents this as an unauthenticated network DoS with low complexity. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade FreeIPMI to version 1.6.19 or later; the patched source tarball is available at https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/freeipmi/freeipmi-1.6.19.tar.gz. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all systems running FreeIPMI prior to version 1.6.19 that interact with Fujitsu BMCs and determine their operational criticality to your infrastructure. …
