Description
It's been found that multiple functions in ipmitool before 1.8.19 neglect proper checking of the data received from a remote LAN party, which may lead to buffer overflows and potentially to remote code execution on the ipmitool side. This is especially dangerous if ipmitool is run as a privileged user. This problem is fixed in version 1.8.19.
Affected configurations
• ipmitool project ipmitool 1.8.18
• debian debian linux 8.0
• debian debian linux 9.0
• fedoraproject fedora 30
• fedoraproject fedora 31
• opensuse leap 15.1
