This issue was resolved in previously provided firmware updates as follows. The HPE Windows firmware installer was updated in the system ROM updates which also addressed the original Spectre/Meltdown set of vulnerabilities. At that time, the Windows firmware installer was also updated in the versions of HPE Integrated Lights-Out 2, 3, and 4 (iLO 2, 3, and 4) listed in the security bulletin. The updated HPE Windows firmware installer was released in the system ROM and HPE Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) releases documented in earlier HPE Security Bulletins: HPESBHF03805, HPESBHF03835, HPESBHF03831. Windows-based systems that have already been updated to the system ROM or iLO versions described in these security bulletins require no further action.","published":"2018-12-03T15:29:00.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T02:02:41.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"security-alert@hpe.com","cvss":{"version":"3.0","score":5.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"},"cwe":[],"affected":["hp/integrated lights-out 2 firmware","hp/integrated lights-out 3 firmware","hp/integrated lights-out 4 firmware","hp/proliant xl750f gen9 server firmware","hp/proliant xl740f gen9 server firmware","hp/proliant xl730f gen9 server firmware","hp/proliant xl450 gen9 server firmware","hp/proliant xl270d gen9 server firmware","hp/proliant xl270d gen9 accelerator tray firmware","hp/proliant xl260a gen9 server firmware","hp/proliant xl250a gen9 server firmware","hp/proliant xl230a gen9 server firmware","hp/proliant xl190r gen9 server firmware","hp/proliant xl170r gen9 server firmware","hp/proliant dl560 gen9 server firmware","hp/proliant dl380 gen9 server firmware","hp/proliant dl360 gen9 server firmware","hp/proliant dl180 gen9 server firmware","hp/proliant dl160 gen9 server firmware","hp/proliant dl120 gen9 server firmware","hp/proliant dl80 gen9 server firmware","hp/proliant dl60 gen9 server firmware","hp/proliant dl20 gen9 server firmware","hp/proliant ml350 gen9 server firmware","hp/proliant ml150 gen9 server firmware","hp/proliant ml110 gen9 server firmware","hp/proliant ml30 gen9 server firmware","hp/proliant ml10 gen9 server firmware","hp/proliant bl660c gen9 server firmware","hp/proliant bl460c gen9 server blade firmware","hp/proliant ws460c gen9 workstation firmware","hp/proliant dl380e gen8 server firmware","hp/proliant dl360p gen8 server firmware","hp/proliant dl360e gen8 server firmware","hp/proliant dl320e gen8 server firmware","hp/proliant dl320e gen8 v2 server firmware","hp/proliant dl160 gen8 server firmware","hp/proliant sl250s gen8 server firmware","hp/proliant sl210t gen8 server firmware","hp/proliant bl660c gen8 server blade firmware","hp/proliant bl465c gen8 \\(amd\\) firmware","hp/proliant bl460c gen8 server blade firmware","hp/proliant bl420c gen8 server firmware","hp/proliant sl4540 gen8 1 node server firmware","hp/proliant sl270s gen8 server firmware","hp/proliant dl580 gen8 server firmware","hp/proliant dl560 gen8 server firmware","hp/proliant dl380p gen8 server firmware","hp/proliant dl385p gen8 \\(amd\\) firmware","hp/proliant ml350e gen8 v2 server firmware","hp/proliant ml350e gen8 server firmware","hp/proliant ml350p gen8 server firmware","hp/proliant ml310e gen8 v2 server firmware","hp/proliant ml310e gen8 server firmware","hp/proliant microserver gen8 firmware","hp/proliant m710 server cartridge firmware","hp/proliant m710p server cartridge firmware","hp/proliant m710x server cartridge firmware","hp/proliant m510 server cartridge firmware","hp/proliant m350 server cartridge firmware"],"epss":{"score":0.00668,"percentile":0.51692,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.67%).
