Release Date: 2012-04-26 Last Updated: 2012-04-26 Potential Security Impact: Local compromise of system integrity Source: Hewlett-Packard Company, HP Software Security Response Team VULNERABILITY SUMMARY A potential security vulnerability has been identified with certain HP ProCurve 5400 zl switches using a compact flash card which may contain malware content that is a PC trojan executable. The ProCurve switch operating system is not infected with the malware and the content on the compact flash card has no impact on the operation of the switch. Reuse of the compact flash card in a personal computer and manual execution of the malware content could result in a compromise of that system's integrity. References: CVE-2012-0133 SUPPORTED SOFTWARE VERSIONS*: ONLY impacted versions are listed. HP 5400 zl series switch purchased after April 30, 2011 with the noted serial numbers for the following products: J9532A 5412zl-92GG-PoE+ / 2XG SFP+ v2 Switch J9533A 5406zl-44G-PoE+ / 2XG SFP+ v2 Switch J9539A 5406zl-44G-PoE+ / 4G SFP v2 Switch J9540A 5412zl-92G-PoE+ / 4G SFP v2 Switch J9642A HP E5406 zl Switch with Premium Software J9643A HP E5412 zl Switch with Premium Software J8697A HP E5406 zl Switch Chassis J8698A HP E5412 zl Switch Chassis J8699A - HP 5406-48G zl Switch J8700A - HP 5412-96G zl Switch J9447A - HP 5406-44G-PoE+-4SFP zl Switch J9448A - HP 5412-92G-PoE+-4SFP zl Switch J8726A Management Module in the 5400 series zl switch with the following serial numbers: ID116AS04P through ID116AS0HR ID117AS00H through ID126AS0FB Serial numbers: ID030AS0MZ ID034AS0QP ID049AS0D4 ID051AS074 ID104AS06S ID110AS0B6 ID113AS0HH ID113AS0K2 ID113AS0KM ID114AS00V ID114AS02F ID114AS03D ID114AS08N ID114AS0C8 ID115AS08P ID115AS097 ID115AS0BL NOTE: How to obtain the serial number of the Management Module using the remote console: Establish a console session Execute the show modules command BACKGROUND CVSS 2.0 Base Metrics =========================================================== Reference Base Vector Base Score CVE-2012-0133 (AV:L/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P) 3.7 =========================================================== Information on CVSS is documented in HP Customer Notice: HPSN-2008-002 RESOLUTION The vulnerability can be resolved by any of the three following options: Software Purge Option : HP provides a script that is run by the switch manager using the show tech custom command. This script will delete the fi(s) and directory without exposing a personal computer to the files on the compact flash. The operation of the switch is not impacted. This option is best for customers wanting to maximize the uptime of their network. Hardware Replacement Option : For those customers who have 5400 zl switch inventory that is not on their network and must be purged, this option allows for the Management Module to be replaced. Also, any customer that feels uncomfortable performing the Software Purge Option can choose the Hardware Replacement Option as well. An advanced replacement Management Module will be sent to the customer. Once it arrives, the original Management Module is returned to HP after the new one is installed. The downside to this option is that the 5400 zl switch must be powered down in order to replace the Management Module, resulting in downtime. Software Update Option (recommended) : The following Early Availability software update K.15.08.00007 is available which will automatically delete the malware trojan contents on the compact flash card if present. The software update also contains many other features and functionality enhancements for the switch. Note that updating the switch software should always be done with care and with an analysis of any potential impacts. Please refer to the release notes provided with the software update location below.
