Summary

In the Linux kernel, ipmb_write() in the IPMI driver read message fields before validating the length byte. A zero or short write can read uninitialized stack bytes, and a length smaller than the SMBus header underflows the block write length.

Risk Assessment

Uninitialized stack memory may be disclosed or message processing errors may occur. This can lead to information leaks or driver instability.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version that requires a non-empty buffer and the minimum IPMB request length, and validates the length byte plus payload before parsing. Restrict access to the IPMB interface to trusted processes.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipmi: ipmb: validate write message length ipmb_write() read message fields before validating the length byte. A zero or short write can read uninitialized stack bytes. A length smaller than the SMBus header underflows the block write length. Require a non-empty buffer and the minimum IPMB request length. Also require the length byte plus payload before parsing the message.
