FreeIPMI can crash or be taken over by crafted responses

published 29 days ago
Summary

The FreeIPMI tools used for remote console and system management on openEuler can be tricked into writing or reading beyond their memory limits when they receive malformed data from server hardware. This could cause the program to stop working or allow an attacker to run code with the same rights as the program. Update FreeIPMI to version 1.6.19 or later to eliminate the risk.

What to do
  • Update openeuler freeipmi to version 1.6.19-1.oe2403sp1.

Original advisory text
freeipmi security update
The package provides &amp;quot;Remote-Console&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;System Management software&amp;quot; based on intelligent platform management interface specification.

Security Fix(es):

FreeIPMI before 1.6.19 has a stack-based buffer overflow in _ipmi_sel_oem_fujitsu_get_sel_entry_long_text in libfreeipmi/sel/ipmi-sel-string-fujitsu-irmc-common.c via malformed Fujitsu SEL long-text responses.(CVE-2026-85504)

ipmi-oem in FreeIPMI before 1.6.19 has a stack-based buffer over-read in ipmi_oem_fujitsu_get_sel_entry_long_text in ipmi-oem/ipmi-oem-fujitsu.c when a BMC provides a short response, a different vulnerability than CVE-2026-50031 (which has different affected versions).(CVE-2026-85505)

ipmi-oem in FreeIPMI before 1.6.19 has a stack-based buffer overflow in _get_dell_system_info_idrac_info in ipmi-oem/ipmi-oem-dell.c (idrac-info subcommand to dell get-system-info).(CVE-2026-85506)

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).(CVE-2026-85507)

ipmi-oem in FreeIPMI before 1.6.19 has a stack-based buffer overflow in _output_dell_system_info_cmc_ipv6_info in ipmi-oem/ipmi-oem-dell.c (cmc-ipv6-info subcommand to dell get-system-info).(CVE-2026-85508)

FreeIPMI before 1.6.19 has a stack-based buffer overflow in _read_fru_data in libfreeipmi/fru/ipmi-fru.c when a BMC returns more bytes than requested, potentially leading to denial of service or arbitrary code execution.(CVE-2026-85509)
