    HP Software Security Response Team

    REFERENCES: MS04-025

    VULNERABILITY SUMMARY:
        A security vulenerability has been identified with HP Systems
        Insight Manger (SIM) for Linux where a patch recently released
        by Microsoft, MS04-025 for a vulnerability in Internet
        Explorer may prevent users from logging in to HP Systems
        Insight Manager.
