                                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.

                                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® 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® server setup utilities to configure LAN management. This issue has the potential to affect sys
 tem 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 rep
 resentative or sales office. We appreciate your business and!
  look fo
rward to serving your future computing needs. Regards, Hewlett-Packard Company
                        
                
                
                        
                                RESOLUTION:
                                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.
