The remote host is missing an update for the 'ipmitool' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. A vulnerability has been discovered and corrected in ipmitool: ipmievd as used in the ipmitool package uses 0666 permissions for its ipmievd.pid PID file, which allows local users to kill arbitrary processes by writing to this file (CVE-2011-4339). The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue

  In Mandriva the ipmievd daemon from the ipmitool package does not

  rather easily craft an initscript or start the service by other means
