RELEASE DATE:    May 2002
LAST UPDATED: 21 May 2002

SEVERITY:  1

SOURCE:  Compaq Computer Corporation
Compaq Services
Software Security Response Team

REFERENCE:  (SSRT2179) - Rev 0 - 17 May, 2002

PROBLEM SUMMARY:

A potential vulnerability exists where an authenticated user may gain
unrestricted access to the embedded operating system of the Compaq
ProLiant BL e-Class enclosure (Integrated Administrator) when this
user has Telnet, Secure Shell, or console access to the system,
and is limited to the enclosure itself.

The potential vulnerability does not extend to users who only have
web access and does not extend to the server blades.

VERSIONS IMPACTED:

Integrated Administrator firmware v1.0 and v1.10

RESOLUTION:

Upgrade to version 1.11 or higher of the Integrated Administrator
firmware (available May 2002), located at:
 http://www.compaq.com/support/files/server/us/locate/5708.html

After installing this update, Compaq strongly recommends performing
the following cleanup procedure if there is any suspicion the
enclosure may have been compromised by a malicious authenticated
user:

Change all Integrated Administrator user passwords (including the
Administrator account) Execute the command "CLEAR SSHKEY"

If you were using the SSHKEY feature, then re-install your SSH
authorized key file using the "DOWNLOAD SSHKEY  <url>" command.
