Christopher Ertl found that multiple functions in ipmitool 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.

For Debian 8 Jessie, this problem has been fixed in version 1.8.14-4+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your ipmitool packages.
