Descriptions

OpenIPMI before 2.0.36 has an out-of-bounds array access (for authentication type) in the ipmi_sim simulator, resulting in denial of service or (with very low probability) authentication bypass or code execution.

A flaw was found in the IPMI simulator (ipmi_sim) component of OpenIPMI. Due to a missing check in the authorization type on incoming LAN messages, an attacker may be able to trigger a denial of service.
