openhpi-3.4.0-2.el7

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 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.

Security issues fixed with this release:

CVE-2015-3248
** RESERVED **
This candidate has been reserved by an organization or individual that
will use it when announcing a new security problem. When the
candidate has been publicized, the details for this candidate will be
provided.

Fixed bugs:

* 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.
