The vulnerability you mentioned is related to the use of insecure cryptographic algorithms (SHA-1 and HMAC) on the SSH service (port 22) of the Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) management interface on an HP DL380 G9 server.

In order to address this vulnerability, you should disable the use of SHA-1 and HMAC algorithms on the SSH service of iLO 4. You can do this by following the steps below:

1. Log in to the iLO web interface using an administrative account.
2. Click on the "Administration" tab and select "Security".
3. Under "Security", select "SSH" and click on "Advanced Settings".
4. In the "Advanced Settings" section, look for the "MAC algorithms" option and uncheck the "hmac-sha1" checkbox.
5. Next, look for the "Key exchange algorithms" option and uncheck the "diffie-hellman-group1-sha1" checkbox.
6. Click on "Apply" to save the changes.

After completing these steps, the iLO SSH service will no longer allow the use of insecure SHA-1 and HMAC algorithms, which will mitigate the vulnerability you described. It is also recommended to keep your server firmware and iLO firmware up-to-date to ensure the latest security patches are installed.

How to apply same settings in iLO 5?

After checking all items in iLO5, there is no option for disabling SHA1 MAC algorithms

Thanx in advanced
