  It was discovered that the IPMI event daemon (ipmievd) created its process
  ID (PID) file with world-writable permissions. A local user could use this
  flaw to make the ipmievd init script kill an arbitrary process when the
  ipmievd daemon is stopped or restarted. (CVE-2011-4339)

  All users of ipmitool are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
  contains a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing this
