3. Description:

 

OpenHPI is an open source project created with the intent of providing an

implementation of the SA Forum's Hardware Platform Interface (HPI).

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 hotswap interface.

 

It was found that the "/var/lib/openhpi" directory provided by OpenHPI used

world-writeable and world-readable permissions. 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)

 

This issue was discovered by Marko Myllynen of Red Hat.

 

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.

(BZ#1127908)

 

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. With this update, handling of network socket timeouts has been

improved in openhpid, and the described problem no longer occurs.

(BZ#1208127)

 

All openhpi users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which

correct these issues and add these enhancements.
