  "details" : [ "ipmi-oem in FreeIPMI before 1.6.19 has a stack-based buffer overflow in _output_dell_system_info_cmc_info in ipmi-oem/ipmi-oem-dell.c (cmc-info subcommand to dell get-system-info).", "A flaw was found in FreeIPMI. A local attacker can exploit a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the `ipmi-oem` utility when processing the `dell get-system-info cmc-info` subcommand. This can lead to arbitrary code execution, allowing the attacker to run malicious code on the affected system." ],
  "statement" : "A stack-based buffer overflow in the FreeIPMI ipmi-oem utility can lead to arbitrary code execution when processing the dell get-system-info cmc-info subcommand. This vulnerability is classified as Moderate because the high potential impact (arbitrary code execution) is offset by limited exploitability: an attacker must already possess local access to the system and intentionally execute this specific subcommand to trigger the flaw.",
