Capsule summary: watch out!
--Steve Bellovin, https://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb
Dan Farmer wrote a really nice paper on this subject, complete with
bibliography, references, and a tad more content. 
Indeed! But it is should be logical, as IPMI is supposed to be for OOB
access right?
Anybody not putting them behind a properly restricted firewall and/or
VLAN is asking for issues... typical IPMI boxes run outdated linux
kernels, with nice olddated userspace and a whole lot of tools that one
can not really restrict access to, thus it is quite silly to have that
access open to the public.

That same reasoning has worked wonders at keeping SCADA systems off the public internet too.

People problems cannot be resolved with code.

Would an Linux cluebat driver count?
