The information in the following Security Advisory should be acted
upon as soon as possible. Hewlett-Packard Company will not be
liable for any consequences to any customer resulting from customer's
failure to fully implement instructions in this Security Advisory as
soon as possible.
------------------------------------------------------------------
PROBLEM: Security vulnerability when managing HP Switching
Hubs with a web browser.
PLATFORM: HP AdvanceStack J3200A, J3201A, J3202A, J3203A, J3204A,
J3205A, J3210A with firmware version A.03.02.
DAMAGE: Gain elevated privileges
SOLUTION: Until a fix is available, work around the problem as
documented below.
MANUAL ACTIONS: Disable web access or remove the management IP
address.
AVAILABILITY: This advisory will be updated when a fix is
available.
------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Background
The following are vulnerable:
J3210A -- HP AdvanceStack 10BT Management Pack Module for use
with HP AdvanceStack Switching Hubs
J3200A -- HP Advancestack 10Base-T S Hub-12R*
J3201A -- HP AdvanceStack 10BT-S Hub-12R w/Mgmt
J3202A -- HP AdvanceStack 10Base-T S Hub-24R*
J3203A -- HP AdvanceStack 10BT-S Hub-24R w/Mgmt
J3204A -- HP AdvanceStack 10Base-T S Hub-24T*
J3205A -- HP AdvanceStack 10BT-S Hub-24T w/Mgmt
* This product is not affected unless J3210A is installed within.
The vulnerable firmware version is A.03.02.
B. Fixing the problem
There are two ways to work around the problem:
1. Disable web access using telnet or RS-232 interface
a. Telnet or console into switch
b. Type "me" for menu
c. Hit "2" for Management Access Configuration
d. Hit "6" for Web enable/disable (verify it is disabled)
2. Remove the management IP address
a. Telnet or console into switch
b. Type "me" for menu
c. Hit "2" for Management Access Configuration
d. Hit "1" for IP Configuration
e. Hit "Y" to Change the IP configuration
f. Choose "D" to disable segment
g. Choose "D" to Disable (and verify it is disabled)
(Repeat F & G for each IP assigned-segment as necessary.)
NOTE! Disabling IP while connected via telnet will disconnect
your session.
C. Recommended solution
Until a fix is available work around the problem by either
disabling web access or removing the management IP address.

Title: Sec. Vulnerability in SNMP
-----------------------------------------------------------------
HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY SECURITY BULLETIN: #0184,
Originally issued: 12 Feb. 2002

----------------------------------------------------------
HP-UX Systems running snmpd or OPENVIEW
----------------------------------------------------------
Any HP-UX 10.X or 11.X system running snmpd or snmpdm is
vulnerable. To determine if your HP-UX system has snmpd
or snmpdm installed:
swlist -l file | grep snmpd
B. Fixing the problem
Install the appropriate patch or firmware revision or work
around problem as detailed below.
C. Recommended solution
---------------------------------------------------------
hp procurve switch 2524
---------------------------------------------------------
No known workaround. Patches are in process.
---------------------------------------------------------
NNM (Network Node Manager)
---------------------------------------------------------
Disable snmpd and snmpdm as detailed for HP-UX below.
Patches are in process.
---------------------------------------------------------
MC/ServiceGuard
---------------------------------------------------------
Concerning the impact of disabling the SNMP agent on nodes
in MC/ServiceGuard or ServiceGuard OPS Edition clusters:
If SNMP is disabled on nodes running in MC/ServiceGuard
or ServiceGuard OPS Edition clusters, it will no longer be
possible for cluster monitoring applications that use the
cluster SNMP MIB to obtain the correct status for the cluster.
Examples of such applications are ClusterView, ClusterView Plus
or EMS High Availability Monitors, which all receive
cluster-related SNMP information from the cluster nodes.
This means that these applications will no longer display the
correct status for the cluster, including the cluster starting
or halting, nodes leaving or joining the cluster, and application
packages starting up or halting in the cluster.
NOTE: All supported versions of MC/ServiceGuard as well as
ServiceGuard OPS Edition are affected by this issue.
The ServiceGuard Manager product does not use the cluster
SNMP MIB, and therefore is _NOT_ affected by the
disabling of SNMP on cluster nodes.
---------------------------------------------------------
Event Monitoring System (EMS)
---------------------------------------------------------
It should also be noted that if an MC/ServiceGuard or ServiceGuard
OPS Edition application package has package resources defined
that use EMS High Availability Monitors, then those package
resources will no longer contain the current status for the
cluster. It may be necessary to remove the definition for these
package resources in order to allow continued operation of the
package after SNMP has been disabled.
---------------------------------------------------------
JetDirect Firmware (older versions only)
---------------------------------------------------------
Update firmware to X.08.32(or higher) or X.21.00(or higher)
as applicable.
----------------------------------------------------------
HP-UX Systems running snmpd or OPENVIEW
----------------------------------------------------------
The following patches are available now:
PHSS_26137 s700_800 HP-UX 10.20 OV EMANATE14.2 Agent$
PHSS_26138 s700_800 HP-UX 11.X OV EMANATE14.2 Agent$
PSOV_03087 Solaris 2.X EMANATE Release 14.2 $
All three patches are available from:
http://support.openview.hp.com/cpe/patches/
In addition PHSS_26137 and PHSS_26138 will soon be available
from:
http://itrc.hp.com
============================================================
NOTE: The patches are labeled OV (Open View). However, the
patches are also applicable to systems that are _NOT_
running Open View.
============================================================
Workaround for HP-UX Systems:
If a patch is not available for your platform or you cannot
install an available patch, snmpd and snmpdm can be disabled
by removing their entries from /etc/services and removing the
execute permissions from /usr/sbin/snmpd and /usr/sbin/snmpdm.
