Document ID: hpesbcr04284en_us Version: 1 HPESBCR04284 rev.1 - HPE Cray EX Supercomputers, Cray Shasta System Solutions, and HPE Slingshot Switches, Remote Authentication Bypass NOTICE: The information in this Security Bulletin should be acted upon as soon as possible. Release Date: 2022-06-16 Last Updated: 2022-06-17 Potential Security Impact: Remote: Authentication Bypass Source: Hewlett Packard Enterprise, HPE Product Security Response Team VULNERABILITY SUMMARY A security vulnerability in HPE Cray EX Supercomputers/Shasta System Solutions and HPE Slingshot Switches could be remotely exploited to allow authentication bypass. The vulnerability affects: Node Controllers (nC) on Cray EX liquid cooled systems Chassis Controllers (cC) on Cray EX liquid cooled cabinets Switch Controllers (sC) on HPE Slingshot switches References: CVE-2022-28620 SUPPORTED SOFTWARE VERSIONS*: ONLY impacted versions are listed. Cray Legacy Shasta System Solutions - All versions of node controller firmware associated with HPE Cray EX liquid cooled blades, and all versions of chassis controller firmware associated with HPE Cray EX liquid cooled cabinets prior to 1.6.27/1.5.33/1.4.27 - Only Cray Shasta Liquid Cooled System Solutions HPE Cray EX supercomputers - All versions of node controller firmware associated with HPE Cray EX liquid cooled blades, and all versions of chassis controller firmware associated with HPE Cray EX liquid cooled cabinets prior to 1.6.27/1.5.33/1.4.27 - Only Cray Shasta Liquid Cooled System Solutions HPE Slingshot - All Slingshot versions prior to 1.7.2 - All HPE Slingshot switch controllers BACKGROUND HPE calculates CVSS using CVSS Version 3.1. If the score is provided from NIST, we will display Version 2.0, 3.0, or 3.1 as provided from NVD. Reference V3 Vector V3 Base Score V2 Vector V2 Base Score CVE-2022-28620 CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C) 10.0 Information on CVSS is documented in HPE Customer Notice: HPSN-2008-002 RESOLUTION HPE Cray Systems has provided updates to address this vulnerability in HPE Slingshot, HPE Cray EX Supercomputers, and Cray Shasta Systems. SPECIAL NOTE about Cray ChassisBMCs: The UPDATE FIRMWARE WITH FAS document contains notes in the Hardware Precedence Order section that advise administrators to power off the system before updating the ChassisBMC firmware. Specifically, the guide states: “Before updating a CMM, make sure all slot and rectifier power is off. The hms-discovery job must also be stopped before updates and restarted after updates are complete.” Powering off the system is not required to update the firmware that contains the fix for this vulnerability. Fixes for these issues are available for download. Node Controller and Chassis Controller firmware come bundled together as part of the ccnc firmware package.
