A local user could use this flaw to view, modify, and delete OpenHPI-related data, or even fill up the storage device hosting the /var/lib directory. (CVE-2015-3248) The openhpi packages have been upgraded to upstream version 3.4.0, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. This update also fixes the following bug: * Network timeouts were handled incorrectly in the openhpid daemon. As a consequence, network connections could fail when external plug-ins were used.

HPI provides an abstracted interface to managing computer hardware, typically for chassis and rack based servers. HPI includes resource modeling; access to and control over sensor, control, watchdog, and inventory data associated with resources; abstracted System Event Log interfaces; hardware events and alerts; and a managed hot swap interface. OpenHPI provides a modular mechanism for adding new hardware and device support easily. Many plug-ins exist in the OpenHPI source tree to provide access to various types of hardware. This includes, but is not limited to, IPMI based servers, Blade Center, and machines which export data via sysfs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: fix /var/lib/openhpi permissions (#1233521). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #1233521 - CVE-2015-3248 openhpi: world writable /var/lib/openhpi directory [fedora-all] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1233521 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
