RHBA-2013:1640 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
freeipmi bug fix and enhancement update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated freeipmi packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are
now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The FreeIPMI project provides "Remote-Console" (out-of-band) and "System
Management Software" (in-band) based on the Intelligent Platform Management
Interface specification.
The freeipmi packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.2.1, which
provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. Among
others, this rebase adds the ipmiseld daemon and subpackage, and the Serial Over
Lan (SOL) command processing. This update also provides more secure permissions
for configuration files that recognize remote password configuration.
(BZ#951700)
This update also fixes the following bugs:
- Prior to this update, the ipmidetectd daemon did not fully validate input
command-line parameters. Consequently, ipmidetectd terminated unexpectedly with
a segmentation fault when parsing invalid command-line options. With this
update, ipmidetectd validates command-line input properly, and therefore no
longer crashes in this case. (BZ#616846, BZ#715605) - Previously, the bmc-watchdog daemon did not create the PID file and did not
write the PID number into the file. As a consequence, tools depending on missing
PID values did not work correctly. This bug has been fixed, the PID number is
now stored in the created PID file and the described problems no longer occur.
(BZ#818168)
Users of freeipmi are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs and add these enhancements.
