Document Subtype: Security Bulletin Document ID: hpesbhf03789en_us Last Updated: 2017-10-17 Release Date: 2017-10-16 Document Version: 1 Potential Security Impact: Local: Unauthorized Access to Data; Remote: Unauthorized Access to Data Source: Hewlett Packard Enterprise, HPE Product Security Response Team VULNERABILITY SUMMARY A potential security vulnerability has been identified in the "HP Trusted Platform Module 2.0 Option" kit. This optional kit is available for HPE Gen9 systems with firmware version 5.51. The vulnerability in TPM firmware 5.51 is that new mathematical methods exist such that RSA keys generated by the TPM 2.0 with firmware 5.51 are cryptographically weakened. This vulnerability could lead to local and remote unauthorized access to data. Note: The "HP Trusted Platform Module Option" (TPM 1.2) for HPE Gen6 through Gen9 systems is not affected. References: PSRT110605 PSRT110598 CVE-2017-15361 SUPPORTED SOFTWARE VERSIONS*: ONLY impacted versions are listed. HPE Trusted Platform Module 2.0 Kit FW 5.51 - TPM 2.0 FW 5.62 is not affected. This is the Gen9 TPM 2.0 option (only Gen9 servers could have this option). The TPM 2.0 Option for Gen9 servers is not standard on Gen9 servers - it is an option.
