TITLE

HP StoreVirtual Storage Runs on the device LeftHand OS Vulnerabilities that gain management access

DESCRIPTION

LeftHand OS (aka SAN iQ) 10.5 and earlier on HP StoreVirtual Storage devices does not provide a mechanism for disabling the HP Support challenge-response root-login feature, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain administrative access by leveraging knowledge of an unused one-time password. HP StoreVirtual products using LeftHand OS are prone to an unauthorized-access vulnerability. A remote attacker can exploit this issue to gain unauthorized access to the affected device. This may aid in further attacks. HP StoreVirtual Storage is a set of virtual storage devices supported by LeftHand OS of Hewlett-Packard (HP), which provides functions such as updating data centers, reducing SAN costs and eliminating failure points. LeftHand OS (aka SAN iQ) is an operating system used on this device. The vulnerability is caused by remote attacks. Password to gain the root authority of the user. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Note: the current version of the following document is available here: https://h20564.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/kb/ docDisplay?docId=emr_na-c03825537 SUPPORT COMMUNICATION - SECURITY BULLETIN Document ID: c03825537 Version: 2 HPSBST02896 rev.2 - HP StoreVirtual Storage, Remote Unauthorized Access NOTICE: The information in this Security Bulletin should be acted upon as soon as possible. Release Date: 2013-07-17 Last Updated: 2013-07-17 Potential Security Impact: Remote unauthorized access Source: Hewlett-Packard Company, HP Software Security Response Team VULNERABILITY SUMMARY A potential security vulnerability has been identified with the HP StoreVirtual Storage. All HP StoreVirtual Storage systems are equipped with a mechanism that allows HP support to access the underlying operating system if permission and access is provided by the customer. This functionality cannot be disabled today. HP StoreVirtual products are storage appliances that use a custom operating system, LeftHand OS, which is not accessible to the end user. Limited access is available to the user via the HP StoreVirtual Command-Line Interface (CLiQ) however root access is blocked. Root access may be requested by HP Support in some cases to help customers resolve complex support issues. To facilitate these cases, a challenge-response-based one-time password utility is employed by HP Support to gain root access to systems when the customer has granted permission and network access to the system. The one-time password utility protects the root access by preventing repeated access to the system with the same pass phrase. Root access to the LeftHand OS does not provide access to the user data being stored on the system. References: CVE-2013-2352 (SSRT101257) SUPPORTED SOFTWARE VERSIONS*: ONLY impacted versions are listed. This issue effects LeftHand OS (a.k.a. SAN iQ) software versions 10.5 and earlier.
