Secure testing team - Dec 2011 - Bug#651917: ipmitool: insecure file permission when creating PID files

Package: ipmitool
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole

Hi,

an insecure file permission flaw was found in the way ipmitool handled
the PID files creation.

There''s more info in the Red Hat bug, along with a patch, see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=742837

This has been assigned CVE-2011-4339, when you update a fix, could
you add it to the changelog entry?

Could you prepare updated packages for Squeeze and Lenny too?

Regards,
