VULNERABILITY SUMMARY:
-> During ongoing internal quality testing of the HP ProLiant
DL585 server, a potential vulnerability has been
identified, where a remote unauthorized user may gain
access to the server controls, but only when the server is
powered down.

ProLiant DL585 servers and that no other server models are
exposed to this vulnerability.
REFERENCES:
None
SUPPORTED SOFTWARE VERSIONS*: ONLY impacted versions are listed.

BACKGROUND:
RESOLUTION:
->IMPORTANT: The firmware upgrade prescribed by HP in this

recommends immediate application of all required critical
fixes. Neglecting to perform the required action may result
in unauthorized remote access on the server. By
disregarding this notification, the customer accepts the
risk of incurring future related events.
->While this issue only affects some ProLiant DL585 servers,
HP strongly recommends that all ProLiant DL585 customers
perform the firmware update.
->The Integrated Lights-Out firmware upgrade version 1.82
(or later) will eliminate this vulnerability in ProLiant
DL585 servers.
->Firmware version 1.82 for iLO is available from the
following downloadable software:
->Online ROM Flash Component for Windows -

whenever the server is powered down. This will prohibit the
remote access exploit.
