"The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
AXSA:2012-21:01 advisory.

    This package contains a utility for interfacing with devices that support the Intelligent Platform
    Management Interface specification.  IPMI is an open standard for machine health, inventory, and remote
    power control.
    This utility can communicate with IPMI-enabled devices through either a kernel driver such as OpenIPMI or
    over the RMCP LAN protocol defined in the IPMI specification.  IPMIv2 adds support for encrypted LAN
    communications and remote Serial-over-LAN functionality.
    It provides commands for reading the Sensor Data Repository (SDR) and displaying sensor values, displaying
    the contents of the System Event Log (SEL), printing Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) information, reading and
    setting LAN configuration, and chassis power control.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2011-4339
    ipmievd (aka the IPMI event daemon) in OpenIPMI, as used in the ipmitool package 1.8.11 in Red Hat
    Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6, Debian GNU/Linux, Fedora 16, and other products uses 0666 permissions for its
    ipmievd.pid PID file, which allows local users to kill arbitrary processes by writing to this file.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
