Synopsis
The Rocky Linux host is missing one or more security updates.Description
The Rocky Linux 9.6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1778618041 advisory.- ipmi-oem in FreeIPMI before 1.6.17 has exploitable buffer overflows on response messages. The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) specification defines a set of interfaces for platform management. It is implemented by a large number of hardware manufacturers to support system management. It is most commonly used for sensor reading (e.g., CPU temperatures through the ipmi-sensors command within FreeIPMI) and remote power control (the ipmipower command). The ipmi-oem client command implements a set of a IPMI OEM commands for specific hardware vendors. If a user has supported hardware, they may wish to use the ipmi-oem command to send a request to a server to retrieve specific information. Three subcommands were found to have exploitable buffer overflows on response messages. They are: ipmi-oem dell get-last-post- code - get the last POST code and string describing the error on some Dell servers, ipmi-oem supermicro extra-firmware-info - get extra firmware info on Supermicro servers, and ipmi-oem wistron read- proprietary-string - read a proprietary string on Wistron servers. (CVE-2026-33554)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
