ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1783597433 advisory.

  - ipmi-oem in FreeIPMI before 1.6.18 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. Two subcommands ipmi-oem
    dell get-active-directory-config and ipmi-oem fujitsu get-sel-entry-long-text were found to have
    exploitable buffer overflows on response messages. (CVE-2026-50031)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
