ipmitool crashed

[jclulow]

I was trying to paste a few text files into the ipmitool serial-over-LAN console facility. It seems that pasting too much data too quickly causes our current ipmitool to crash, at least when using the -C 17 cipher/authentication mode.

The stack is:

It seems like the ipmitool project has moved around a bit in the last couple of years. The current home appears to be: https://codeberg.org/IPMITool/ipmitool

There is at least a tag there for a new version (1.8.19) that we might upgrade to see if this goes away.

I've queued up the update for the next release. In the meantime, if you'd like to test it I have uploaded a signed hotfix bundle to https://hf.omnios.org/r38/ipmitool-1.8.19.p5p which you can install with pkg apply-hot-fix or similar.
