[Kailash]

Supermicro has been made aware of a series of security vulnerabilities in Supermicros IPMI firmware. It is possible to gain root access on the supermicro ipmi BMC, which can be used ultimately to compromise the server operating system.

It appears that Supermicro has released some patches for some boards already.

Note: It is never a good idea to expose a management interface such as IPMI to the public internet.
