A memory leak in the __ipmi_bmc_register() function in drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.11 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering ida_simple_get() failure, aka CID-4aa7afb0ee20. NOTE: third parties dispute the relevance of this because an attacker cannot realistically control this failure at probe time

** EN DISPUTA ** Una pérdida de memoria en la función __ipmi_bmc_register() en el archivo drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_msghandler.c en el kernel de Linux versiones hasta la versión 5.3.11, permite a atacantes causar una denegación de servicio (consumo de memoria) al desencadenar un fallo de la función ida_simple_get (), también se conoce como CID-4aa7afb0ee20. NOTA: terceros discuten la relevancia de esto porque un atacante no puede controlar de manera realista esta falla en el momento de la investigación.
