Vulnerability Report
Generated by CyberWatcher
Description
A stack-based out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in the FreeIPMI ipmi-oem utility. When processing an abnormally short response from a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC), the application over-reads the buffer. A malicious BMC could exploit this to crash the client application (Denial of Service) or potentially leak stack memory. Red Hat compiler safeguards further restrict the impact primarily to a process crash.
