Subject: [PATCH 4/6] channel: Fix buffer overflow Partial fix for CVE-2020-5208, see https://github.com/ipmitool/ipmitool/security/advisories/GHSA-g659-9qxw-p7cp . The `ipmi_get_channel_cipher_suites` function does not properly check the final response’s `data_len`, which can lead to stack buffer overflow on the final copy.
