RESOLUTION

The vulnerability can be resolved by insuring that the SNMP read community 
string is set to a secure value.

Securing the Windows SNMP service

DDMI requires the Windows SNMP service for its operation. If necessary DDMI 
will install and configure the Windows SNMP service using the Windows default 
security settings. As a result the SNMP read community string may be set to 
public .

To modify the default security configuration of the of the Windows SNMP service:

Open the Windows Services Control Panel applet, select Administrative Tools and 
then select Services.
Select the SNMP Service, right click on it and select Properties and navigate 
to the Security tab.
Amend the security settings as required to change the default read community 
string to a value other than public.
Add the updated read community string to the appropriate DDM Inventory SNMP 
profile.

Third Party Security Patches: Third party security patches that are to be 
installed on systems running HP software products should be applied in 
accordance with the customer's patch management policy.

Support: For further information, contact normal HP Services support channel.
