Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'ipmitool'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'ipmitool' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The ipmitool package contains a command line utility for interfacing with devices that support the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) specification. IPMI is an open standard for machine health, inventory, and remote power control. 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 update, the IPMI event daemon (ipmievd) will be restarted automatically. Affected Software/OS: ipmitool on CentOS 6 Solution: Please install the updated packages. CVSS Score: 3.6 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:P
