Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2013-6208 is a local privilege escalation issue in HP Smart Update Manager 5.3.5 on Linux before build 70. A local user could gain higher privileges through unspecified vectors. Business risk depends on whether this legacy administration tool exists on Linux servers and whether untrusted users can log in locally. Exposure is likely limited to Linux systems running HP Smart Update Manager 5.3.5 before build 70. Systems without HP SUM, non-Linux installations, or build 70 and later are not identified as affected by the supplied sources. Prioritize this as a legacy exposure cleanup item. Escalate urgency if affected HP SUM installations are present on sensitive Linux servers or systems with multiple local users. Mitigation focus: Upgrade HP Smart Update Manager 5.3.5 on Linux to build 70 or later.; Check HP advisory SSRT101366 for vendor-specific remediation details.; Remove HP SUM from systems where it is no longer operationally required..
