ipmi_lan_poll_recv() can return NULL, and ipmi_lanplus_recv_sol() doesn't
check for this case. ipmitool 1.8.9 fixes this; their source changed like so:
- if(rsp->session.authtype != 0)
+ if (rsp && rsp->session.authtype != 0)
We're using ipmitool with several Dell PowerEdge 1950s; without this change,
ipmitool's serial console segfaults randomly, often after it's connected for
only a few seconds.
