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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm HP KeyView is installed
    Check for HP KeyView installation by searching for KeyView executables, services, or installed software listings on the system
    Affected if HP KeyView is present on the system
  2. Identify installed KeyView version
    Use system utilities to retrieve the installed version of HP KeyView (such as software inventory tools, keyview binary version info, or installed programs listing)
    Affected if A version number is returned that matches the KeyView product
  3. Compare version against affected ranges
    Compare the identified version to the vulnerable ranges: 10.23.0.0 through 10.23.0.0.x or 10.24.0.0 through 10.24.0.0.x
    Affected if The installed version is >= 10.23.0.0 and < 10.23.0.1, OR >= 10.24.0.0 and < 10.24.0.1

A user is affected if HP KeyView is installed and the version falls within 10.23.0.0 to 10.23.0.1 (exclusive) or 10.24.0.0 to 10.24.0.1 (exclusive).
