CVE-2020-5208 – remote code execution vulnerability in ipmitool

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2020-5208

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. Se detectó que varias funciones en ipmitool versiones anteriores a 1.8.19, descuidan la comprobación apropiada de los datos recibidos desde una parte de la LAN remota, lo que puede conllevar a desbordamientos de búfer y potencialmente a una ejecución de código remota en el lado de ipmitool. Esto es especialmente peligroso si ipmitool se ejecuta como un usuario privilegiado. • http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2020-02/msg00031.html https://github.com/ipmitool/ipmitool/commit/e824c23316ae50beb7f7488f2055ac65e8b341f2 https://github.com/ipmitool/ipmitool/security/advisories/GHSA-g659-9qxw-p7cp https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2020/02/msg00006.html https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2021/06/msg00029.html https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/K2BPW66KDP4H36AGZXLED57A3O2Y6EQW https://lists.fedoraproject.org/ • CWE-119: Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer CWE-120: Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow') •
