LIN1022-23092 : Security Advisory - ipmitool - CVE-2020-5208

Created: Apr 28, 2026    Updated: Apr 30, 2026
Found In Version: 10.22.33.24
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 22
Component/s: Userspace

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.
