Hi there,
I did a scan via nessus on my server and the scan discovered that my HP System Management Homepage v6.2.0.13 is outdated and is open to DOS attacks and has informed me of upgrading it to the latest version.
How do I go about this? Is the updated version free to download or do I require to purchase a license for upgrading?
Below is the scan result :
HP System Management Homepage < 6.3 Multiple Vulnerabilities
Description
According to the web server's banner, the version of HP System Management Homepage (SMH) hosted on the remote host is earlier than 6.3. Such versions are reportedly affected by the following vulnerabilities :
- An error exists in the function 'fnmatch' in the bundled version of PHP that can lead to stack exhaustion. (CVE-2010-1917)
- An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the 'var_export' function in the bundled version of PHP that can be triggered when handling certain error conditions. (CVE-2010-2531)
- A double free vulnerability in the 'ssl3_get_key_exchange()' function in the third-party OpenSSL library could be abused to crash the application. (CVE-2010-2939)
