  "details" : [ "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\nipmi: Check event message buffer response for bad data\nThe event message buffer response data size got checked later when\nprocessing, but check it right after the response comes back.  It\nappears some BMCs may return an empty message instead of an error\nwhen fetching events.\nThere are apparently some new BMCs that make this error, so we need to\ncompensate.", "A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) subsystem. This vulnerability occurs when the kernel processes event message buffer responses from Baseboard Management Controllers (BMCs). Some BMCs may return an empty message instead of an expected error, which the kernel did not properly handle. This could lead to unexpected behavior or system instability due to improper data processing." ],
