tag_insight = "The OpenIPMI packages provide command line tools and utilities to access
  platform information using Intelligent Platform Management Interface
  (IPMI). System administrators can use OpenIPMI to manage systems and to
  perform system health monitoring.

  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)

  Note: This issue did not affect the default configuration of OpenIPMI as
  shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

  This update also fixes the following bugs:

  * Prior to this update, the ipmitool utility first checked the IPMI
  hardware for Dell IPMI extensions and listed only supported commands when
  printing command usage like the option 'ipmtool delloem help'. On a
  non-Dell platform, the usage text was incomplete and misleading. This
  update lists all Dell OEM extensions in usage texts on all platforms, which
  allows users to check for command line arguments on non-Dell hardware.
  (BZ#658762)

  * Prior to this update, the ipmitool utility tried to retrieve the Sensor
  Data Records (SDR) from the IPMI bus instead of the Baseboard Management
  Controller (BMC) bus when IPMI-enabled devices reported SDR under a
  different owner than the BMC. As a consequence, the timeout setting for the
  SDR read attempt could significantly decrease the performance and no sensor
  data was shown. This update modifies ipmitool to read these SDR records
  from the BMC and shows the correct sensor data on these platforms.
  (BZ#671059, BZ#749796)
