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.
-
Verify HP Storage Data Protector is installedQuery the system for HP Storage Data Protector installation. On Windows, check Add/Remove Programs or the installation directory. On Linux/Unix, check for the /opt/omnissm or /opt/DataProtector directory, or use 'rpm -qa | grep -i dataprotector' or 'dpkg -l | grep -i hp'.Affected if HP Storage Data Protector is found on the system
-
Determine the installed versionLocate the version information file or use the command line tool. Common locations include the installation directory or run 'omniversion' if available, or check version files in the installation path.Affected if The installed version matches 6.20, 6.21, 7.00, or 7.01 exactly
-
Confirm the Data Protector services are runningCheck if the Data Protector services or daemons are active. On Windows, check Services panel for 'HP Data Protector' services. On Unix/Linux, check processes like 'omnirc' or 'omnisv'.Affected if Services are running and the version is one of the affected versions listed
-
Assess network exposureReview firewall rules and network configuration to determine if the Data Protector ports (typically TCP 5555 for the server, and related ports) are accessible from untrusted networks.Affected if The Data Protector interface is exposed to untrusted networks while running an affected version
The system is affected if HP Storage Data Protector version 6.20, 6.21, 7.00, or 7.01 is installed and running, regardless of network exposure.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImmediately isolate affected systems from untrusted networks given the critical severity and remote code execution capability; contact HP for patches or consider upgrading to a supported version.
