RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Created attachment 1606004 [details]
Package including the fix.

Description of problem:
Ipmitool commands can't be run on some servers. 

Apparently, this concerns some Intel-based motherboards that needed
their FWs to be upgraded. As confirmed by this release notes
<https://downloadmirror.intel.com/28750/eng/Release%20Notes.txt>;;:

"""
Cipher Suite 3 is disabled by default since BMC firmware 1.90 and
only keep Cipher Suite 17 opened by default./
/Due to this the extra parameter "-C 17" is required for ipmitool to
work via LAN./
"""

Intel TA-1143

provides a full list of "affected" systems.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipmitool-1.8.18-7

How reproducible:
Always on specific Intel HW.


Additional info:
Our customer has prepared a fixed package with the Cipher Suite 17 support (see enclosed srpm). Can we include the fix in the official RH package?
