On systems that have "autoinstall = yes" in /etc/uptrack/uptrack.conf,

DESCRIPTION
* Race condition when sending IB subnet MAD causes denial-of-service.
When allocating an Infiniband management diagram packet for the
Infiniband subnet manager, the request data might be freed before the
diagram is fully transmitted, resulting in a use-after-free and
denial-of-service.
