  "details" : [ "ipmi-oem in FreeIPMI before 1.6.18 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.", "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." ],
  "statement" : "This issue was classified as Moderate. It is an application level denial of service flaw in FreeIPMI's `ipmi-oem` client. A remote attacker can exploit buffer overflows by sending specially crafted response messages to the `ipmi-oem` client, leading to system unavailability. This vulnerability requires the `ipmi-oem` command to be actively used with specific OEM subcommands to communicate with a malicious or compromised Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) server.",
