Details

New openhpi packages that fix a segmentation fault in hpipower are now
available.

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.

These updated packages fix a bug in the hpipower utility. It would crash
with a segmentation fault when the -b option was used with an invalid
index. This has been fixed so that the utility no longer segfaults when an
invalid option is used with the -b option.

All users of the openhpi package are encouraged to upgrade to these updated
packages, which resolve this issue.
