Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate HP StorageWorks Storage Mirroring installationSearch for the software in the system program files directory, check Windows Add/Remove Programs, or look for the HP StorageWorks service executableAffected if HP StorageWorks Storage Mirroring software is found on the system
-
Determine installed versionRight-click the Storage Mirroring executable or launcher, select Properties, then check the Details tab for version information; alternatively, run 'swadm --version' from the installation directory if availableAffected if The displayed version is 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, or 5.2.1 (any version prior to 5.2.2.1771.2)
-
Verify Storage Mirroring service is runningOpen Services console (services.msc) and locate the HP StorageWorks Storage Mirroring service, or run 'net start' and look for the service in the listAffected if The Storage Mirroring service is running and listening on a network port
If HP StorageWorks Storage Mirroring versions 5.0 through 5.2.1 are installed with the service actively running, the system is vulnerable to remote code execution.
