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.
-
Identify the HP LeftHand product modelLocate the system model, product name, or appliance identifier in the management console, CLI, or system documentation. Common identifiers include HP San/iQ, HP LeftHand P4000 Virtual SAN Appliance, or HP LeftHand Virtual SAN Appliance.Affected if The product is HP LeftHand P4000 Virtual SAN Appliance (all versions affected) or HP San/iQ (version-dependent)
-
Retrieve the installed software versionAccess the appliance via SSH or the management interface and run the version display command (such as 'version', 'show version', or 'system info'). Record the exact version number reported.Affected if The version is 8.0, 8.1, 8.5, 9.0, 9.5, or any version below 10.0 (for HP San/iQ); or any version for HP LeftHand P4000
-
Verify the hydra component is presentCheck the appliance's installed components, modules, or running services list. Look for an entry named 'hydra' or 'hydra component' in the component inventory via CLI or management interface.Affected if The hydra component is installed and listed as an active component on the appliance
The environment is affected if the product is HP LeftHand P4000 Virtual SAN Appliance of any version, or HP San/iQ version 9.5 or below, and the hydra component is present on the system.
