    A. Background
        CERT has issued an advisory:
        CERT Advisory CA-2002-03 Multiple Vulnerabilities in Many
        Implementations of the Simple Network Management Protocol
        (SNMPv1) containing information about the vulnerabilities.

        Hewlett-Packard Company will revise this bulletin as new
        information becomes available.

        ---------------------------------------------------------
        hp Procurve switches
        ---------------------------------------------------------

        We are still in the process of determining which other HP
        Procurve products are subject to these vulnerabilities.
        We have created fixes for products below which will resolve
        these issues. See Section C below.

        Customers can download these patches in the form of software
        upgrades at:
                  http://www.hp.com/rnd/software/switches.htm

         HP TopTools Remote Control Card
        ---------------------------------------------------------

        TopTools Remote Control (TTRC) card, rev. 2.0. (product P1218A)
        has an SNMP MIB defect. This is fixed in firmware version
        B.03.02 available at:

        http://h20004.www2.hp.com/keeper_rnotes/bsdmatrix/matrix62319.html

         JetDirect Firmware
        ---------------------------------------------------------

        JetDirect Firmware Version State
        ========================== =====
         X.08.32 and lower VULNERABLE
          (where X = A through K)
         X.21.00 and higher NOT vulnerable
          (where X = L through P)

        FIX STATUS: HP is working on a firmware fix.

        WORKAROUND: Change the set-community-name and use the
        Access Control List as described in "HP JetDirect Print
        Servers - Making HP JetDirect Print Servers Secure on
        the Network":

       http://www.hp.com/cposupport/networking/support_doc/
           bpj05999.html#P88_10129

              LIMITING THE VULNERABILITY

        SNMPv1 security relies on the set community name. It is
        important that a set-community-name be configured on the
        JetDirect device and that it be kept secret.

        JetDirect Print Servers offer an Access Control List that
        can be used to specify which hosts can make SNMP
        configuration changes to JetDirect Print Servers.

        The steps above can help prevent exploitation of the
        vulnerability. To eliminate the vulnerability before a fix
        is available SNMP can be disabled on the JetDirect device.

             DISABLING SNMP ON A JETDIRECT PRINT SERVER

        1. Update the firmware to the highest level as described in
        the JetDirect Upgrade Instructions document:

     http://www.hp.com/cposupport/networking/support_doc/bpj06917.html

        NOTE: Disabling SNMP may affect device discovery and port
                 monitors that use SNMP to get status on the device.
                 Use this feature with care.

        2. Telnet to the JetDirect device (on the latest firmware)
        and type:
                       snmp-config: 0
                       quit

        This will completely disable SNMP on the JetDirect device.

        HP always recommends upgrading JetDirect firmware for the
        latest bug fixes and security benefits. The upgrade firmware
        and download utility are available free of charge:

         http://www.hp.com/cposupport/networking/support_doc/bpj06917.html

        The following is a list of JetDirect Product Numbers
        that can be freely upgraded to X.08.32 or X.21.00 or
        higher firmware. The latest firmware revision available
        for download is given. For example, the latest firmware
        revision for the J3110A is G.08.32.

        PHSS_26510, PHSS_26137, PHSS_27181, PHSS_27182
        and PHSS_26138 are available from both sites.

        The HP OC SS7 (OpenCall) products J3362A and J5938A running
        on HP-UX releases 10.20 and 11.X are not vulnerable if the
        applicable HP-UX patch listed above is installed.

      ============================================================
       NOTE: The patches are labeled OV (OpenView). However, the
       patches are also applicable to systems that are _NOT_
       running OpenView.
      ============================================================

        Workaround for HP-UX Systems:

        If a patch is not available for your platform or you cannot
        install an available patch, snmpd and snmpdm can be disabled
        by removing their entries from /etc/services and removing the
        execute permissions from /usr/sbin/snmpd and /usr/sbin/snmpdm.
