ipmi subsystem

The IPMI subsystem tag covers discussions about the Intelligent Platform Management Interface, a common management plane on server platforms implemented inside Baseboard Management Controllers. Content includes a Linux kernel vulnerability (CVE-2025-40202) that fixes a fragile implementation in IPMI user-message accounting, addressing a use-after-free issue by reworking receive-side allocation and reference counting. This tag is relevant for system administrators and IT professionals managing server hardware, particularly those dealing with Linux-based systems and security patches for IPMI-related components.
