-----------------------------------------------------------------
NOTICE:
There are no restrictions for distribution of this Bulletin
provided that it remains complete and intact.
The information in this Security bulletin should be acted upon
as soon as possible.
INITIAL RELEASE: 05 April 2004
POTENTIAL SECURITY IMPACT: remote unauthorized access
to offline utilities
SOURCE: HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY
HP Software Security Response Team
REFERENCES: Intel Action Alert AA-679-1
VULNERABILITY SUMMARY:
A potential vulnerability has been identified with certain HP
Carrier Grade Servers resulting in remote unauthorized access to
certain offline utilities.
SUPPORTED SOFTWARE VERSIONS*: ONLY impacted versions are listed.
N/A
BACKGROUND:
Dear HP Customer:
Thank you for your continued reliance on Hewlett-Packard as your
systems supplier. Hewlett-Packard (HP) is committed to delivering
high quality products to our customers. Toward that goal, HP would
like to advise you of an issue that could affect the behavior of
certain HP Carrier Grade Servers.
HP systems that are impacted:
hp carrier grade server cc2300 - A6898A, A6899A
hp carrier grade server cc3300 - A6900A, A6901A
hp carrier grade server cc3310 - A9862A, A9863A
Intel has notified HP and other computer manufacturers of an issue
with four Intel(R) server setup utilities per Intel Action Alert
AA-679-1.
System Setup Utility (SSU)
Client System Setup Utility (CSSU)
Server Configuration Wizard (SCW)
CLI Auto-configuration Utility
An invalid firmware setting is present after using Intel(R) server
setup utilities to configure LAN management. This issue has the
potential to affect system security, resulting in unauthorized
access to certain offline utilities. If LAN Management is not
enabled the system will not be affected by this issue.
The problem has not been reported by any HP customers. However,
because Intel is strongly committed to delivering high quality
products, it has developed a utility to correct the invalid
firmware settings. The BmcLanFix utility and instructions are
listed at the following Intel web site.
<http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/CS-010422.htm
>
HP and Intel strongly recommend that customers who enable LAN
management download the BmcLanFix utility and run it to correct
the invalid configuration on servers that have IPMI based LAN
management enabled. This utility must be run whenever enabling
LAN Management. Additionally, the utility must be reapplied
whenever the configuration is saved while LAN Management is
enabled.
If you have questions or require help, please contact your local
HP support representative or sales office. We appreciate your
business and look forward to serving your future computing needs.
Regards,
Hewlett-Packard Company
