Answer

What's the fastest way to determine whether a given vulnerability affects my Hitachi Vantara product?
Visit the Hitachi Vantara Knowledge Base here: https://knowledge.hitachivantara.com/ and search for the CVE number (Important: You must have a Support Connect account. Register here if you have not already).
If a Hitachi Vantara KB article exists for that CVE number, it will usually be shown as the first result. See the article to determine if your product is vulnerable and/or if there are remediation steps available.
-
What if no Hitachi Vantara KB article is found for that CVE number, or the article is found but no remediation steps are shown for my product?
Submit a support case through Support Connect and make sure to include the following information to vastly decrease resolution time:
- CVE # (if available) CVE #'s are in this format: CVE-2017-0143
- Hitachi Vantara Product(s) for which you are requesting vulnerability information
-
Our vulnerability scanner (Qualys, Tenable/Nessus, etc) results showed an entry or entries seemingly related to my Hitachi Vantara product--what's the fastest way to resolve this?
First, ensure you're running an up-to-date version of the firmware for the product(s) in question. This alone could significantly change the scanning results.
If the vulnerability remains after updating, submit a support case, and make sure to include the following information to vastly decrease resolution time:
- Name and version of the security scanner used (e.g., Qualys, Tenable/Nessus, etc),
- Date/time the scan was conducted
- Scan result of concern
- If available, Qualys ID or Nessus Plugin ID of the positive scan result of concern
- If applicable, include the CVE#, Bugtraq ID, and/or CERT Vulnerability Number of the positive scan result of concern
- If known, state whether your organization has actually been exploited by the vulnerability of concern
- The Hitachi Vantara products involved in the scan, firmware/software version installed, the affected TCP and UDP ports, and affected IP addresses
- After submitting the case and receiving your case #, ensure that the vulnerability scan results (Qualys, Nessus, etc.) are uploaded to TUF. Click here to upload your scan results.
