Hello Everyone,
I'm using a natively compiled ipmitool 1.8.8 on multiple Linux OSes and
When using Serial over LAN (sol), I've found that if I type very
quickly, the tool will segfault every time.
For example:
--
$ ipmitool -U ADMIN -P ADMIN -I lanplus -H kaadu-ipmi sol activate
[SOL Session operational. Use ~? for help]
[typing "this is a test of the emergency broadcast system" at a good
pace...]
kaadu:~$ Thhisis isisis a a a test of thSegmentation fault
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
--
At this point, I get disconnected from the remote console. I need to
issue a "sol detach" and "sol attach" command and the serial console
will resume from where I left off without an issue until the next
segfault. If I type very slowly (1-2 characters per second), things are
100% reliable using ipmitool. I can reproduce this 100% of the time on
Centos and FedoraCore3 clients using IPMI2.0 cipher suites 1, 2, 3, and
with using the Supermicro OEM IPMI 1.5 BMC protocol. It seems that this
IPMI card doesn't support cipher suites 0, 4-14 though the card's "lan
print 1" shows it supports all 14 modes.

It's worth noting that if I use Supermicro's "IPMIView" Java tool:
ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/CDR-0010_2.03_for_IPMI_Server_Managment/Rev2.10_Beta/IPMI_Solution
doesn't have this issue though the console text updates are rather
poor. I'm thinking this issue has something to do with timeouts of the
IPMI UDP traffic.
Can any of the developers comment on how I might be able to instrument
the ipmitool code to troubleshoot this issue? Using "-vvvv" on the
command line does not give any additional information before the tool
segfaults.
