HPE acknowledges Bjoern Brixner of T Systems International GMBH for reporting these vulnerabilities to HPE. RESOLUTION HPE has evaluated the impact of these vulnerabilities that have been identified in all HPE 3PAR Service Processor versions prior to SP-4.4.0.GA-110(MU7). HPE has supplied the following SP release which mitigate any potential impact of the identified vulnerabilities. SP-4.4.0.GA-110(MU7) (or subsequent release) Note: Change the below passwords on the accounts after first applying SP 4.4.0.GA-110 MU7 to remediate the security issue. Note: the update requires 3PAR OS upgrade to 3.2.2MU4 or OS 3.2.2MU6 (or subsequent). These are the mandatory configuration steps to be followed to mitigate the local disclosure of privileged information in the HPE 3PAR Service Processor: Each of these 4 accounts (setupusr, spvar, 3parcust, cpmaint) should be managed from the menu to change the default passwords as supplied from initial setup. Change setupusr, spvar, 3parcust, cpmaint using the below example steps. Step 1 : Role required: 3parcust SSH into the SP IP address and enter 3parcust as user and the password for it to login. Step 2 : From the SP menu, type =1.14.1 Enter The output is as follows. Known users 1 ==> setupusr 2 ==> spvar 3 ==> 3parcust 4 ==> cpmaint 0 ==> Abort Operation **Step 3**: Please select a user to operate on. For each user account, select that account from the menu and change the password . For questions, please contact HPE Support.
