Comment 3 Jan Lieskovsky 2011-11-11 14:14:04 UTC 
A insecure file permissions flaw was found in the way IPMI event daemon of the  OpenIPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) library and tools created its PID file (it was created with 0666 permissions). A local user could use this flaw to kill arbitrary running process during ipmievd service shutdown.
Comment 5 Jan Lieskovsky 2011-11-11 15:48:08 UTC 
This issue did NOT affect the version of the OpenIPMI package, as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

This issue did NOT affect the version of the OpenIPMI package, as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 in the default configuration. Though custom configurations of the ipmievd daemon (those using /var/run/ipmievd.pid as a PID file) are affected by this issue too.

--

This issue affects the versions of the ipmitool package, as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

This issue did NOT affect the versions of the ipmitool package, as shipped with Fedora release of 14, 15, and 16 in the default configuration. Though custom configurations of the ipmievd daemon (those using /var/run/ipmievd.pid as a PID file) are affected by this issue too.
