From the RedHat bug discussion:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1709180
A flaw was found in the Linux kernels implementation of IPMI (remote baseband access) where an attacker with local access to read /proc/ioports may be able to create a use-after-free condition when the kernel module is unloaded. The use after-free condition may result in privilege escalation. Investigation is ongoing.

it's another form of "problem is between keyboard and monitor".
recommend having the" remote monitor and keyboard translated thru network "on seperate ethernet cables totally?
note: IPMI DOES save on having to buy one keybaord AND monitor for each computer?
