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.
-
Confirm HPE UIoT installationCheck the system for HPE Universal Internet of Things software. Look for installation directories, service processes, or application listings that indicate HPE UIoT is present.Affected if HPE UIoT software is installed on the system
-
Identify installed UIoT versionUse system inventory tools, software packaging utilities, or check the application about/info page to determine the exact version number of HPE UIoT.Affected if The version is exactly 1.2.4.0, 1.2.4.1, or 1.2.4.2
-
Verify affected version rangeCompare the identified version against the known affected versions: 1.2.4.0, 1.2.4.1, and 1.2.4.2. Note that versions outside this exact set are not affected.Affected if The version matches 1.2.4.0, 1.2.4.1, or 1.2.4.2 exactly
A system is affected only if HPE UIoT is installed AND the exact version matches 1.2.4.0, 1.2.4.1, or 1.2.4.2.

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 dataUpgrade HPE UIoT to version 1.2.4.2 RP3 HF1. For customers on releases older than 1.2.4.2, also upgrade to 1.2.4.2 RP3 HF1.
