HP advisory says to update to iLO 3 1.57 or later, yet 1.55 is all that is available???

http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/kb/docDisplay/?spf_p.tpst=kbDocDisplay&spf_p.prp_kbDocDisplay=wsrp-navigationalState%3DdocId%253Demr_na-c03787836-1%257CdocLocale%253D%257CcalledBy%253D&javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken

 

This advisory says that iLO 3 < 1.57 is vulnerable and tells me to act ASAP, yet the web site only has 1.55, and the CSO tells me:

 

"We understand previous technician has provided you advisories with reference of future release, however ILO 3 version 1.57 is not available for download."

I got the same email.  They have the new version of ILO4 (v1.22) online, but seems someone forgot the ILO3 version.

 

For a flaw so serious and then they don't have the firmware available?

 

Why not just tell all the hackers how to get into any ILO3 they might find on the Internet and leave their paying customers vulnerable with no way to fix it.

 

Nice business model.

 

Next time they might want to think about putting the file online BEFORE they tell people its there.  This is the same thing as sending an email that discusses the non-existent attachment...

 


And the CSO you got.  How fricking brilliant.  Of COURSE THE FILE ISN'T ONLINE... I JUST TOLD YOU THAT.

 

And "future release?"  The document states release date 6/11/2013...  I got the email today as well 6/12/2013.
  Last time I checked, that was not in the future.

1.57 is being signed off as we speak and it should be on the web very soon.

 

For those who need it right now, I have uploaded the components to a temp FTP site.

 

ftp://ilo4me:G!v3t2me@ftp.usa.hp.com/iLO3/1.57/

Thanks, Oscar.  It seemed weird to send the advisory before availability, especially when the CSO indicated that there was no release date.

There was the same confusion recently about EVA disk firmware files - new versions were noted as default minimum and strongly recommended, but the release date was some weeks later than the anouncement ... :-(

Hope this helps!

Thanks, Oscar, but one question:

How do you know which CPxxxxx.scexe you need to download? There are about 4 of them in the directory.

Oscar,

 

Are there any know issues with updating ILO3 from version 1.16 to 1.57? 

 

No matter how I try, it fails.

 

I downloaded the windows version, and performed an extract only.  Then I uploaded the ilo3_157.bin file directly into the ILO interface.  After the progress bar went all the way across, it said it failed.

 

So I downloaded the linux version onto the blade itself, and ran that.  It also failed as shown in the output below:

 

I might need to mention this is for a BL460c/G7 running Redhat Linux

You cannot go from an iLO3 version 1.1x directly to a 1.5x due to a change in iLO3 image signature algorithm.  You are going to need to flash any iLO3 version 1.2x first (I recommend v1.28), then you will be able to flash v1.57.  It is mentioned in the readme.txt. See attachement.

 

 Also, don't forget to clear browser cache after upgrading iLO3. Lots of changes to webGUI have been made since 1.16.
