A problem has been found in software shipping with
Hitachi servers that could
be used by a malicious attacker to cause a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability affects the software in multiple
JP1 Server
products, including the system observer, job management, performance management,
access control and security integrated manager programs.
Hitachi has
recognised
the problem and said that patches are available. A report on Hitachi's
website said that a workaround is also possible until the software has been
patched.
"Until the fixed modules are applied, carry out the following workarounds:
set filtering rules on the OS or router so that only reliable IP addresses can
access the port that JP1/PFM/SNMP system observer's report feature uses," said
the Hitachi statement.
