dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm HPE eIUM installationLocate the HPE enhanced Internet Usage Manager software in your environment by checking installed programs, application inventory, or documentation.Affected if eIUM is not present in your environment, this CVE does not apply.
-
Identify installed eIUM versionUse the HPE eIUM administrative interface, version check command, or check product documentation to determine the exact installed version number.Affected if You cannot determine the version - verify installation method and consult HPE documentation.
-
Compare against affected versionsCompare your identified version against the affected versions: 8.3 and 9.0.Affected if Your installed version is exactly 8.3 or exactly 9.0.
-
Check applied patchesReview installed patches or hotfixes. For version 8.3, check for patch eIUM83FP01Patch_QXCR1001711284.20190806-1244. For version 9.0, verify if FP02 PI5 or later is applied.Affected if Version 8.3 or 9.0 is running without the corresponding security patch.
