Several security vulnerabilities have been identified in these 3PAR Service Processor (SP) versions. The vulnerabilities may be locally exploited to allow directory traversal, disclosure of privileged information, and remotely exploited to allow access restriction bypass, code execution, and cross site request forgery. Note: This vulnerability impacts both physical and virtual 3PAR Service Processor. References: CVE-2018-7095 - access restriction bypass CVE-2018-7096 - remote code execution CVE-2018-7097 - cross site request forgery CVE-2018-7098 - local directory traversal CVE-2018-7099 - local disclosure of privileged information SUPPORTED SOFTWARE VERSIONS*: ONLY impacted versions are listed.

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: the update requires 3PAR OS upgrade to 3.2.2MU6 (or subsequent). After updating the SP with SP-4.4.0.GA-110(MU7) (or subsequent release) , follow these 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.
