Reference Base Vector Base Score
CVE-2009-0715 (AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:N) 4.9
===============================================
Information on CVSS is documented in HP Customer Notice: HPSN-2008-002.
RESOLUTION
HP has provided the following procedure to resolve this vulnerability.
There are two ways to work around the vulnerability:
Disable discovery through Secure NaviCLI
OR
Limit login access and restrict privileges for Storage Essentials users
Disable discovery through Secure NaviCLI
===============================
To disable discovery through Secure NaviCLI
Set the following custom property in the management server user interface by
going to Configuration > Product Health > Advanced > Custom Properties:
cimom.provider.clariion.secure=false
Stop the management server service
Move the management server log file (appstormanager.log) and the associated
rolled log files into a secure location.
Restart the management server service
Note: When the custom property, cimom.provider.clariion.secure , is set to
false the management server will be unable to manage CLARiiON arrays through
Secure NaviCLI. CLARiiON systems will no longer be discovered by the management
server through Secure NaviCLI.
Note: The log files may be discarded when they are no longer needed for
diagnostic purposes.
Limit login access and restrict privileges for Storage Essentials users
===================================================
If the procedure above is not chosen, the vulnerability can be worked around by
limiting login access and restricting privileges for Storage Essentials users.
Limit login access to the Storage Essentials management server file system to
those who need to know the access credentials of the elements managed by
Storage Essentials.
Do not give users ?Domain Admin? privileges unless necessary.
Do not give users a role with ?System Configuration? rights unless necessary.
