author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.0.5
changelog:
  -     *Fixes in 2.40.5072:**
      
        * Fixed a race between the firmware and the hardware during driver start which blocked outbound completions.
        * Fixed an issue which caused the firmware not to send link_down event to the driver when running the close_port command.
        * Fixed an issue where in rare cases the Auto Sense failed to detect the right protocol.
        * Fixed signal integrity issue when connecting a WCS ConnectX4 mezz card to Pikes peak FPGA.
        * Added the option to transmit corrupted DME pages for a very short period of time at the beginning of the Auto-Negotiation flow.
        * Fixed an incorrect report of the PortRcvDataVLExtended/ PortXmitDataVLExtended counters by the firmware.
        * Fixed a rare issue which caused firmware's packet injector to cut off packets when the TX was congested.
        * Fixed an issue that caused the response to TX requests to take up to 10 miliseconds in IEEE clause 72 Link Training.
        * Fixed a race between 2 iriscs which caused a QP to get stuck in burst control limit state.
        * When a QP was in error state, the firmware generated too many err CQEs at once, thus causing the cmdif responsiveness to be too slow. To prevent the above, the number of err CQEs was limited to 16 at a time.
        * Fixed an issue that caused the MAC address that was set from the OS using ifconfig to be not reflected in the OCBB buffer.
        * Fixed an issue where the ibdump got broken when running with loopback traffic.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.0.5-2.1
changelog:
  -     *The following issues are fixed in firmware version 10.16.1006:**
      
        * Fixed an issue causing single port devices to query and write Physical Port TLVs to Port 2.
        * Fixed an issue which caused the device to hang when resetting qkey/pkey violation counter via port_info mad.
        * Improved RDMA READ bandwidth under packet lost scenario.
        * If the PF driver or the tool (e.g. ethtool) use PAOS DOWN command (e.g. by ifconfig down or ip link set down), loopback traffic is blocked for all functions on this port (PF<->VFs / VF<->VF)  
      In Multihost loopback, the traffic will be blocked once the firmware receives
      the PAOS down command from all PFs. However, the loopback traffic will not be
      blocked when the port is down due to the physical link (for example: cable
      plugged out, switch port down).
      
        * Fixed an issue which prevented QP permission for reserve lkey to be passed to the memop machine.
        * Fixed a MLX QP SL mismatch handling which 10.12.0780 occurred when the SL in the WQE was different than the SL in the QP.

changelog:
  -     *The following issues are fixed in firmware version 10.16.1058****:**
      
        * Fixed an issue which caused system fail when enabled SR-IOV.
        * Fixed a rare issue which caused the RX to hang when triggered the SRQ limit event.
        * Fixed an issue which occasionally caused the RX traffic to hang in DC when received a PCI error on WQE fetch.
        * Fixed an issue which caused the mlxconfig configuration of VF_LOG_BAR_SIZE to be ignored and to be set to 5 (32MB).
        * Fixed an EEH error from PCI which caused firmware to hang.
        * Fixed an issues which occasionally caused the driver to hang during unload on some VLs when configuring the SM with a VL weight 0 and running traffic on it.
        * Fixed a rare case which caused an assert reported to the driver when the DC transport was enabled in the following cases: retransmission occurred and the RX received the same packet twice
        * Fixed an issue which caused the HCA to hang when enabled /disabled the VFs vports when the VFs GUIDs configuration were overloaded in the steering table.
      
      **The following issues are fixed in firmware version 10.16.1038****:**
      
        * Fixed RSOD bug.
        * Fixed an issue causing single port devices to query and write Physical Port TLVs to Port 2.
        * Fixed an issue which caused the device to hang when resetting qkey/pkey violation counter via port_info mad.
        * Improved RDMA READ bandwidth under packet lost scenario.
        * If the PF driver or the tool (e.g. ethtool) use PAOS DOWN command (e.g. by ifconfig down or ip link set down), loopback traffic is blocked for all functions on this port (PF<->VFs / VF<->VF)  
      In Multihost loopback, the traffic will be blocked once the firmware receives
      the PAOS down command from all PFs. However, the loopback traffic will not be
      blocked when the port is down due to the physical link (for example: cable
      plugged out, switch port down).
      
        * Fixed an issue which prevented QP permission for reserve lkey to be passed to the memop machine.

        * Prevented miscalculation of module temperature when using 100Gb/s cables (OPN: MFA1A00-Cxxx for 100GbE).
        * Reduced one hop for Unicast RX steering, steering pipes balancing.
        * Non-volatile configuration of Port Type TLV more than 50 times might cause system hang.
        * Enabled RoCE IPv4 Multicast. This prevents MCG command from failing when an IPv4 is mapped to an IPv6 address.
        * If the PF driver or the tool (e.g. ethtool) use PAOS DOWN command (e.g. by ifconfig down or ip link set down), loopback traffic is blocked for all functions on this port (PF<->VFs / VF<->VF) In Multihost loopback, the traffic will be blocked once the firmware receives the PAOS down command from all PFs. However, the loopback traffic will not be blocked when the port is down  due to the physical link (for example: cable plugged out, switch port down).
        * Fixed a 25G and 50G link issue when Clause 91 RS FEC was active.
        * Added a missing invalidation of eSwitch cache upon FLR which caused the upcoming driver load to either fail or not to be able to transmit.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.00.00
changelog:
  -      Enabled access to the Synergy Console through the front panel laptop port by using a web browser.  This can be accessed by plugging a laptop Ethernet port into the Synergy front panel laptop port, opening a web browser, and navigating to [http://192.168.10.1:5800](http://192.168.10.1:5800/)
        * Synergy Console improvements to aid in the initial installation and configuration of the frame and frame components prior to importing the frame into HPE OneView:       
          * Added frame health and inventory screens which provide information related to hardware health, cabling configuration, and inventory details
          * Added compute node graphical console access directly from the Synergy Console.  Access a compute node graphical console by clicking the Actions button, selecting Integrated Remote Consoles, and clicking on the desired compute node
          * Enhanced the user feedback when connecting to OneView from the Synergy Console
          * Added frame link module diagnostic actions accessible by clicking the Actions button and selecting the FLM Diagnostics menu option 
            * Reboot:  Performs a reboot of a frame link module.  The user may select to reboot either the active or standby frame link module when a redundant frame link module is present.
            * Factory Reset:  Performs a factory reset of the frame link module(s) in the frame.  This method may be used as an alternative to performing the 10 second press and hold operation on the front panel reset button.
            * Mgmt Port Test:  Validates the connectivity of all frame link module MGMT ports.  This action is only available when the frame is unclaimed to avoid disrupting network access to HPE OneView.
          * Improved font support
        * Improved the frame cold power on sequencing so that interconnect modules are available for service when the compute nodes are powered on
        * Enhanced failure detection and error reporting to provide more granular messages and resolution across a broader range of conditions for overall improved diagnosablity.
        * Enhanced frame related content logged to the Active Health System (AHS) on the compute nodes to provide additional relevant frame context for diagnosing compute node issues.
        * Added monitoring of connectivity from the frame management network ring to the external management network.  A fault indication is reported when connectivity is lost.
        * Improved the general reliability and resilience of network connectivity between frames in a management network ring and between the ring and the external management network
        * Improved serviceability of the frame midplane to minimize impacts to the configured OneView management domain.
        * Improved the user experience associated with the frame link module reset and factory reset actions initiated by pressing the front panel reset button.  The front panel UID LED will now accurately display the FLM behavior.  A short press of the reset button (less than 10 seconds) will turn on the UID LED and result in the active frame link module rebooting.  A long press of the reset button (greater than 10 seconds) will cause the UID LED to blink and result in both frame link modules performing a factory reset.  If the frame link modules are not available, the UID LED will no longer turn on or blink in response to the reset button press until the frame link module(s) become available.  For the best factory reset experience, use the Synergy Console, click the Actions button, select FLM diagnostics, and click Factory Reset
        * Security enhancements: 
          * TLS 1.0 disabled
          * 3DES disabled
          * General security improvements

        * General security fixes


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.01.00
changelog:
  -      Fixed an issue where an error could occur on a Frame Link Module during a firmware upgrade causing the firmware update to fail and possibly requiring a manual reboot to fully recover.
        * Fixed an issue where the Frame Link Module could not communicate with HPE OneView after user installation of a CA signed certificate chain with more than 8 total certificates (inclusive of root and intermediate certificates).  This issue caused the connection to OneView from the Synergy Console to fail.  Frame status events would also not be delivered and updated in OneView.
        * Fixed an issue where the Frame Link Module could unexpectedly shutdown in extreme operating environments where the ambient temperature was below 0 degrees Celsius.
        * Fixed an issue where HPE OneView could indicate an iLO communication timeout for an HPE Synergy compute module when the iLO setting for HPE iLO Federation Multicast Announcement Interval is set to Disabled, 30s, or 60s.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.10

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 4.40
changelog:
  -     Update to this firmware version if any documented fixes or enhanced
      functionality provided by this version would be useful to your system.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 4.40
changelog:
  -      **General**
        *     * Cipher suites are now configured and displayed using their RFC 5246 standardized names. 
        * **EFM**
          * The maximum valid length of the Firmware Management ISO URL has been increased to 511 characters. o   **FIPS** This version of the OA addresses FIPS 140-2 certification requirements and is in the In Process list located at <http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140InProcess.pdf>. Added support for FIPS 186-4 approved RSA key generation used in SSL/SSH keys and certificates    Added support for the cipher TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 Upgrading to this version of OA will replace old DSA keys with 2048-bit RSA keys to meet FIPS 140-2 requirements 
          * Replaced the MD5 password hashing algorithm with the stronger SHA256 algorithm when the Onboard Administrator is operating in FIPS Mode ON or DEBUG.  As a result of this change, OA 4.40 supports a maximum of 21 local users in FIPS Mode ON or DEBUG.  
          * Prevention of 1024-bit SSH/SSL key generation.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 4.40
changelog:
  -     *General**
      
        * Devices with MAC addresses ending with "81:00" (such as f8:66:f2:6d:81:00) were unable to communicate with the OA. Some examples of the observed symptoms were:
      Attempts to ping the OA from the device fail The OA cannot use such a device
      as a gateway The OA GUI and CLI cannot be used from this device
      
        * The OA HTTP service would become unresponsive and communication to the OA would be lost after removing a local user account that had OA administrator level privileges.This problem only occurred when the removed user account had previously been used to configure network services on the OA module.    o   When running OA firmware 4.0x, 4.1x, or 4.2x, the OA could erroneously report fans and/or power supplies as missing or failed even though they were not physically removed or failed.  When this issue occurred, after a few seconds the affected fans and/or power supplies would reappear as normal. There are no known functional impacts associated with this issue other than associated brief status reporting anamolies.  o   When the CLI CONNECT SERVER command is issued to connect to the server as an LDAP user, the text console session opens successfully but the "wget: not an http,https or ftp url: http:/<IP Address> /xmldata?item=cpqkey" message is displayed.  o   In rare cases, the following message was logged in the Standby OA syslog during a redundancy role transition initiated by the CLI FORCE TAKEOVER command: "CERTS: Failed to open flash"
      This had no functional impact; the entry could be ignored.  
      **Documentation**
      
        * In the September 2014 (Edition 23) HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator CLI User Guide for OA 4.30, within the description of the SET HTTP REQUESTREADTIMEOUT command, a command showing recommended values had the BODY MINRATE value as 50 instead of the correct value 500. The command with the correct recommended values is as follows: SET HTTP REQUESTREADTIMEOUT HEADER 3-8 MINRATE 500 BODY 5-10 MINRATE 500
      This error was corrected in the October 2014 (Edition 24) document.  
        **EFM**
      
        * In rare cases, the Active OA module would reboot expectedly during the update of the OA firmware on redundant OA modules.  When this issue occurred, the Active OA module would reboot during the transfer of the OA firmware image to the Standby OA module.  The OA firmware update would fail to complete successfully; a segmentation fault (SEGV) error would be logged in the Active OA system log.  This issue did not cause any firmware or data corruption, and the OA firmware update could be successful if retried following the occurrence of this issue. Note that this issue could only be encountered when updating OA modules running OA 4.30 firmware.  o   Attempts to update the firmware failed on an HP ProLiant Gen9 server blade configured in UEFI Boot Mode or UEFI Optimized Boot Mode. When this failure occurred, the firmware log for the blade server would indicate an error similar to the following for each update attempt, including the two automatic retries that occur on failure: Jul 15 09:34:19 Unable to detect ISOLINUX booting. A final status report similar to the following would also be issued:
      Jul 15 10:30:33 Firmware Management is incomplete on blade <bay number>.
      
        * When using an HP Firmware Management ISO image based on a URL that includes the HTTP port (for example, <http://10.226.36.35:8080/bp-151ilo-2014-08-26-1.iso>),  EFM failed to mount the image. The following error message would be displayed: Unable to mount ISO or validate version information. The URL or ISO is invalid.   CLI commands affected include those that depend on the URL specification via the SET FIRMWARE MANAGEMENT URL command (such as the UPDATE FIRMWARE SERVER command and the UPDATE IMAGE FW_ISO command).** ** o   The EFM firmware log would indicate "Firmware Management successfully completed on blade x" even if the iLO firmware update failed to complete successfully. 
       **IPv6**
      
        * Configuration scripts could not be applied to another OA properly when attempting to configure new EBIPA DNS IPv4/IPv6 addresses or IPv6 routes. Attempts to change the configurations could only add new addresses to those of the previous configuration. It was not possible to replace the existing addresses with the new ones. The following CLI commands now include the ALL keyword to allow clearing of all unwanted addresses or routes:
        * REMOVE EBIPA SERVER DNS ALL
        * REMOVE EBIPAV6 SERVER DNS ALL
        * REMOVE OA ROUTE IPV6 <ACTIVE|STANDBY> ALL
      A configuration script can now use these commands to clear the previous
      (unwanted) EBIPA DNS IP addresses and IPv6 static routes, and then add the new
      ones.  
        **KVM**
      
        * Pressing **Enter** four times consecutively on a keyboard attached to the c7000 Enclosure integrated KVM module would cause the highlighted blade server on the KVM screen to power off or on, depending on its current power state. This issue has been fixed by interchanging the **Ok**/**Confirm** and **Cancel** buttons on the **Confirm: Change Server Power** and **Change Server Power** screens so that the **Cancel** button is highlighted by default instead of the **OK** or **Confirm** button. The default focus is set on the **Cancel** button.
        **Security**
      
        * The following security vulnerabilities were fixed:   
        * CVE-2014-3511: A vulnerability could be exploited by launching man-in-the-middle attacks to force the use of TSL 1.0 instead of the intended later version of TLS. This is documented in HP Security Bulletin HPSBMU03104 ([https://h20564.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/kb/docDisplay/?docId=emr_na-c04427546).](https://h20564.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/kb/docDisplay/?docId=emr_na-c04427546\).# \(QXCR1001370888\))
        * CVE-2007-2242: A vulnerability could be exploited by launching denial-of-service attacks via crafted IPv6 type 0 router headers between two routers, resulting in network congestion. This is documented in HP Security Bulletin HPSBMU03104 (<https://h20564.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/kb/docDisplay/?docId=emr_na-c04427546>).
        * CVE-2014-3567: A vulnerability can be exploited to cause a DOS denial-of-service (memory consumption) attack via crafted session tickets that triggers an integrity check-failure.
        * CVE-2014-3513: A vulnerability can be exploited to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted handshake message.
        * CVE-2014-3513: SRTP Memory Leak - a memory leak in d1_srtp.c in the DTLS SRTP extension in OpenSSL 1.0.1 (before 1.0.1j) allows remote attackers to cause denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted handshake message.
        * This release of the OA resolves this security vulnerability by compiling OpenSSl with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP (the OA does not use DTLS and SRTP). 
        * CVE-2014-0139: A vulnerability affecting SSL/TLS transactions that might allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certificate Authority.
        * [CVE-2014-0015](http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2014-0015): A vulnerability when more than one authentication method is enabled and NTLM connections are reused, which might allow context-dependent attackers to authenticate as other users via a request.
        * CVE-2014-0138: A vulnerability affecting certain LDAP connections that might allow context-dependent attackers to connect as other users via a request (similar to issue CVE-2014-0015).
        * [CVE-2014-2522](http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2014-2522): A vulnerability when running on Windows and using an SChannel/Winssl TLS backend. When accessing a URL that uses a numerical IP address, curl does not verify that the server host name matches a domain name in the subject's CN or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate. This allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via an arbitrary valid certificate. 
        * In addition, OpenSSL has been updated to version 1.0.1h to address multiple CVE fixes.
        
       **SSH/SSL keys**
      
        * With OA firmware later than 4.0x, attempts to add an SSH key using the OA CLI ADD SSH KEY command might fail. Intermittently, after issuing the command, the user received an error message ("The submitted file is not a valid SSH key."), in which case the command failed. 
        
      **SNMP** 
      
        * SNMP alerts (or traps) sent from the OA to an IPv6 SNMP alert destination are sent incorrectly to destination port 161 instead of port 162 (per RFC 1157) when no destination port is explicitly specified as part of an IPv6 SNMP alert destination configuration. 
          *  The OA HTTP service would become unresponsive and communication to the OA would be lost after removing a local user account with OA administrator level privileges.  This issue in only occurred when the removed user account had previously been used to configure network services on the OA module.

changelog:
  -     Onboard Administrator 4.50 provides support for the following enhancements:
      
        * **Hardware Additions**
          * Added support for HP 2650W PSU -US PLATINUM DC c7000 power supplies.
      
       Features Additions and Changes
      
        * **General**
          * Introduced a standardized code signing and validation mechanism to enhance the firmware image authenticity.
          * Enhanced the OA CLI SET FACTORY command to set the Administrator password to the factory default "toe tag" password. This helps customers reset the module to the factory defaults including the password.
      
       New CLI command: SET FACTORY [RESTORE_FACTORY_PASSWORD]
      
        * Enhanced the OA firmware to notify users when the network connectivity of the Standby OA is lost. This helps users restore the Standby OA's connectivity to maintain redundancy.
        * Added an option to allow selection of UEFI Target as a One Time Boot option for UEFI enabled blade servers. Now USB, UEFI_SHELL and UEFI_TARGET options have been added as One Time Boot options. The option has been added in both GUI and CLI.
        * The OA bay number is now indicated in the Enclosure TCP/IP Settings page so users can know which bay currently hosts the Active and Standby OA module. The bay number labels would be shifted based on the Active-Standby role transition
        * Added diagnostics for Enclosure management network flooding situations. Now, in the enclosure management network flooding situations, OA will report the top 5 IP addresses in the network that are contributing to the network flood. This will help the customers to identify the source of the flood and take appropriate action.
        * **Remote Support**
          * As an enhancement, SNMP traps for Insight Remote Support service event transmission failures have been added to enable users to monitor this specific trap to identify any service event transmission failures.
          * Added Insight Remote Support service event for indicating low OA RTC battery condition.The service event will give information on the OA module in which the battery is low or failed and the spare part for the replacement battery.
        * **EFM**
          * Added a feature to prevent the flashing of OA firmware while the EFM process is in progress, thereby preventing the devices from getting into an indeterminate state.
          * Enhancements in the EFM feature have been made to handle issues seen in servers that take a longer duration to boot up.
          * Added a syslog notification when the EFM ISO is changed as to indicate the change to users.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 4.50
changelog:
  -      **General**
        * Fixed an issue which was seen when connecting to the OA from HP SIM using a LDAP account with the user name containing an exclamation character (!) for the SSO.
        * Fixed an issue where LDAP search contexts are showing empty after firmware is upgraded in FIPS Mode.
        * Fixed an issue where a customer logging in to OA using AD/LDAP credentials as a member of both Domain Administrators and Domain Users groups, and where one enclosure is given Domain Administrators access to the full administrative rights of the enclosure, and the other is given Domain Users limited access
        * Corrected a display issue where iLO logs listed in OA shows the order of events sorted incorrectly when the events are more than a year old. The events are displayed sorted on the month and hence events that occurred in the same month in two different years are incorrectly displayed together. The sorting now considers the year also.
        * Fixed an issue where the Device Bay Information page does not show the Management Processor/iLO NIC details under the Server NIC Information table, when the server is powered down.
        * Fixed an issue where OA reports incorrect values for Caution and Critical temperature limits when a blade is in Telco Mode.
        * Addressed an issue where Connect Server Serial command used to fail when server
        * **FIPS**
          * Fixed an issue which prevented transition to FIPS mode OFF when the enclosure is in FIPS-Degraded state. The same failure was seen when the transition was performed on a linked enclosure which was in FIPS-Degraded state. The issue has been addressed and the FIPS mode transition is allowed.
        * **EFM**
          * Addressed issues that would result in EFM failure with the following error messages: 
            * Failed to boot ISO
            * Unable to Monitor HPSUM
        * **Security**
      
             The following security vulnerabilities were fixed:
      
        * CVE-2015-0204 - A remote server can supply a weak RSA temporary key for a non-export RSA key exchange cipher suite to downgrade the session security.
        * CVE-2015-0286 - A vulnerability in ASN1_TYPE_cmp function can be exploited to launch a DoS (Denial of Service) attack by causing a crash during certificate validation operation.
        * CVE-2015-3144 - A vulnerability can be exploited to allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read or write and crash) or possibly have other unspecified impact.
        * CVE-2015-3153 - The default CURL configuration sends custom HTTP headers to both the proxy and destination server, which might allow remote proxy servers to obtain sensitive information by reading the header contents.
        * CVE-2015-2922 - A vulnerability in the Linux kernel can be exploited by sending a crafted Router Advertisement message and setting a low IPV6 hop limit and in turn cause DoS (Denial of Service).
        * CVE-2015-1789 - A vulnerability in some OpenSSL versions allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted length field in ASN1_TIME data.
        * CVE-2015-1791 - A vulnerability in some OpenSSL versions allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (double free and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by providing a NewSessionTicket during an attempt to reuse a ticket that had been obtained earlier.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 4.60
changelog:
  -     *General**
      
        * Addressed an issue where EFM was reporting success while firmware update of iLO 4 failed.
        * Fixed an issue where OA might lose its IP address after OA firmware upgrade when ENCLOSURE_IP_MODE was enabled .
        * Fixed an issue where all iLOs were reset after making EBIPA changes to an empty bay. Now only the specific iLOs are reset.
        * Resolved an issue where iLOs became inaccessible after OA failover occurs with iLOs configured in EBIPA for IPv6. This occurs when an external router in the management network is configured to send Router Advertisements.
        * Corrected the type mismatch of OID cpqRackCommonEnclosureManagerLocation which could cause failures in the SNMP clients. The definition is changed from STRING to INTEGER.
        * Resolved an issue where information on only the last server NIC port of a multiport adaptor was shown on GUI and CLI. Now details of all the server NIC ports are displayed.
        * Resolved an issue of time synchronization between active and standby OA when date and time settings were changed from "Manual" to "NTP".
        * Resolved EFM discovery/update failure when the server power policy in the EFM configuration is set to "must be off".
        * **Security**
      
      The following security vulnerabilities were fixed:
      
        * CVE-2016-2108 - Addressed a vulnerability in ASN.1 implementation in OpenSSL that can cause Denial Of Service via  any field in crafted serialized data
        * CVE-2015-8605 - UDP payload length not properly checked. Addressed a vulnerability where a badly formed packet with an invalid IPv4 UDP length field can cause a DHCP server, client, or relay program to terminate abnormally.
        * CVE-2012-3954 - Fixed a memory leak issue in DHCPv6 daemon that could result in out of memory condition in OA.
        * CVE-2016-0797 and CVE-2016-0799 - Addressed a vulnerability in OpenSSL that could enable security attacks by passing large amount of untrusted data to certain functions in OpenSSL.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 4.70
changelog:
  -     *General**
      
        * Addressed an issue where OA "update iLO all" command fails in an enclosure with maximum Blades.
        * Addressed an issue where a Warning Alert  was wrongly sent when a fan is reseated in an enclosure
        * Addressed an issue where the port mapping information for 560M Izzy adapter Mezz controller was not displayed correctly.
        * Addressed an issue where Remote Syslog logging would fail when OA failover happened in an IPv6 only environment.
        * Enhanced OA to bring the server from a power throttled state back to normal power state upon an OA reboot to circumvent an unwarranted emergency brake.
        * Fixed an issue where the Active and Standby OAs can have the same IP address in some rare situations.
        * Resolved an issue where a Gen9 server's host name gets cleared when the blade is rebooted.
        * Addressed an issue where server blade Power ON will be delayed in enclosures with OA Firmware Version 4.60 and managed by HPE OneView, when the OA module is reset until OneView refreshes the servers.
      
      **Security**
      
      The following security vulnerabilities were fixed:
      
        * CVE-2016-5387- Addressed a vulnerability which might allow remote attackers to redirect an application's outbound HTTP traffic to an arbitrary proxy server via a crafted Proxy header in an HTTP request.
        * CVE-2016-2183- Addressed a vulnerability against TLS ciphers with 64bit block size in which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain cleartext data via an attack against a long-duration encrypted session
        * CVE-2016-6515 - Addressed a vulnerability in OpenSSH which did not limit password lengths for password authentication, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a long string.
        * CVE-2015-8215 - Addressed a vulnerability IPv6 stack which does not validate attempted changes to the MTU value, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service.
        * Addressed issue where in Onboard Administrator was vulnerable to Buffer overflow.
        * Added the HSTS[HTTP strict transport security] support  in OA.
        * Addressed a memory corruption vulnerability in the post-authentication sshd process.
      
      **Issues and workarounds**
      
      **Browsers**
      
        * OA GUI is not accessible in Chrome versions 43.0.2357.10 to 44.0.2383.The issue was caused by a "regression" in Chrome (or WebKit). Customers should use an alternative browser like Firefox or Internet Explorer or try a different version of Chrome.
        * SSO-to-iLO connection from the OA using an iLO host name fails with Microsoft Internet Explorer11 on Windows 8.On a Windows 8 system with Internet Explorer 10 or Internet Explorer 11, if the OA web GUI session is loaded using a host name instead of an IP address, an attempt to open an iLO window using SSO from the OA web GUI might result in the iLO page loading in the OA web GUI window instead of the intended new window. This issue was determined to be a bug in Internet Explorer and is expected to be fixed in a future release or update for Internet Explorer. To work around this issue, either use an IP address to load the OA Web GUI, or turn off Protected Mode for the appropriate zone in Internet Explorer's settings. This issue occurs only on Internet Explorer browsers.
      
      **FIPS**
      
      Certificates smaller than 2048 bits in size are not compliant with FIPS
      requirements as enforced by the OA firmware starting with OA 4.20. When the OA
      running OA firmware version 4.40 or greater is operating in FIPS Mode ON/DEBUG
      and is configured with a 1024-bit LDAP certificate that was installed when
      running a previous version of OA firmware, FIPS Mode ON/DEBUG is considered to
      be operating in a degraded state due to the presence of the non-compliant
      certificate. While operating in this FIPS-Degraded Mode operational state,
      attempts to set FIPS Mode OFF from the OA GUI Network Access>FIPS tab will
      fail and show the error message The selected FIPS mode is already enabled.
      When the non-compliant certificate is removed, the FIPS-Degraded operational
      status is cleared, FIPS Mode can then be successfully set to OFF from the GUI
      interface. Note that the OA CLI command SET FIPS MODE OFF can be successfully
      used to set FIPS Mode OFF even with non-compliant 1024-bit LDAP certificates
      installed in the OA.
      
      **IRC**
      
      Unable to open .net IRC console for Gen10 Blades, Gen9 Blades also have the
      same issue. The Java applet and Webstart however, loads but the virtual media
      mounting fails. The work around is to launch the IRC through IRC Application
      (HP Lights-Out Stand Alone Remote Console) which is installed on terminal
      client.
      
      **EFM **
      
      To use EFM on Gen 10 Blades, please select options/filters "_Make Bootable ISO
      file" and _"_Enclosure Firmware Management"_ while creating custom SPP ISO on
      HPSUM 8.0.0. Please refer to HPSUM 8.0.0 User guide for further details.

changelog:
  -     This release is based on the 2.40 iLO 4 FW Release and contains all the fixes
      and enhancements included in that version.
      
      Also included in this release:
      
        * Gen 8 systems no longer include unnecessary wait for MCTP device discovery in order to initialize sensors.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.50
changelog:
  -     Note for ESXi users: If you are booted from the Embedded SD Card, it is
      strongly  
      Recommended that you reboot the server immediately after updating to iLO 4
      v2.50.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.50
changelog:
  -     This version adds support for the following features and enhancements:
      
        * Implemented Garbage collection on the RESTful API allowing for automatic recovery in the case of bad or missing data.
        * Updates to the enclosure connection status (CPQSTSYS cpqSsBoxConnectionStatus) now correctly report when an enclosure is disconnected or reconnected, and sends trap cpqSsConnectionStatusChange where appropriate.
        * This version adds protection to the lifespan of the embedded 4GB non-volatile storage (NAND) by implementing a daily write count limit that is well above the normal daily activity.  This ensures a runaway process will not inadvertently write to the NAND excessively leading to eventual failure.
        * Changed the default SSL certificate signing to SHA-256.
        * Added support for IP addresses in the SubjectAltName field of the iLO SSL certificate.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.50
changelog:
  -     The following issues are resolved in this version:
      
        * Dynamic Power Capping still works when set to disabled.
        * Server may shut down after repeated insertion and removal of hot-plug power input modules for RPS backplanes. 
        * Repeated LDAP tests cause iLO LDAP User Authentication to fail.
        * The reporting of location discovery services data via the RESTful API on ML/DL servers failed even with iLO Advanced license installed.
        * Rare memory leak that could lead to slow or failed iLO interfaces due to unverified data returns from unregistered providers.
        * Corrected the link on the direct connect registration page to point to [www.hpe.com/support/hpesc](http://www.hpe.com/support/hpesc) instead of [www.hpe.com/services/hpesc](http://www.hpe.com/services/hpesc).
        * OA communication issue after OneView SPP update.
        * Status of pure Fibre Channel cards show up as Unknown in Network Tab of iLO System Information.
        * External Rest Providers removed after upgrading BIOS, booting, and then resetting iLO.
        * Rarely a GET to the SNMP MIB will fail.
        * Rarely updates using HPSUT fail.
        * iLOs won't join Federation group or respond to SSDP requests if DHCPv4 is configured but an IP address is not obtained at iLO boot time.
        * Prev/Next links and list behavior of iLO federation are not consistent.
        * Security fixes/enhancements: 
          * Improved AlertMail message body encoding.
          * CBC Mode ciphers disabled in FIPS/AES Modes (both Webserver and SSH).
          * RC4 has been removed from the default cipher list.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.54
changelog:
  -     This version adds support for the following features and enhancements:
      
        * iLO Amplifier Pack - Advanced Server Firmware/Driver and License Management Solution
        * OpenLDAP
        * OpenSSL 1.0.1u FIPS
        * PSRT 301
        * CSRs no longer include the iLO IP address by default. To include the iLO IP address in the CSR, enable the include iLO IP Address(es) option in the iLO web interface.
        * Added an iLO RESTful API option to include the iLO IP address in SSL certificate CSRs.
        * AlertMail formatting improvements.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.54
changelog:
  -     The following issues are resolved in this version:
      
        * Resolved an issue where in some cases iLO configuration data could be reset to default values after an iLO firmware upgrade (only affects Gen8 servers).
        * Improved the mechanism to reset communication to the non-volatile storage (NAND) upon a warm reboot of the server (to reset an inaccessible NAND)
        * NOTE: If the NAND is inaccessible when upgrading to iLO 4 2.54 firmware, an AC power pull may be necessary to reset an inaccessible NAND.
      
      The following issues are resolved in version 2.53 (replaced by 2.54):
      
        * Fixed an issue that led to POST Error: 333-iLO RESTful API Error - Unable to communicate with the iLO firmware when an SD card is was installed.
        * Fix handling of logical drive indexing, found in cases where logical drives are not contiguous.
        * Power loss occurs when hot-plugging RPS backplane during runtime.
        * High fan noise occurs during ML110 Gen9 server system startup.
        * IPMI Drive fault is incorrectly mapped to "In Failed Array" on drive sensors.
        * Target node iLO is unavailable when an HPE OneView server profile is applied.
        * The iLO RESTful API Software Inventory is incomplete when compared to the iLO web interface.
        * The iLO RESTful API does not return complete version strings for all software components.
        * Unable to use IPMI to "Set Serial Number" and "Set Product ID".
        * Fan failure and server shutdown occur on SL230s Gen8 servers.
        * Reverse Address Translate returns bad values when called with hponcfg.
        * The iLO RESTful API does not return the exact PCI device location for PCIe components.
        * An incorrect device type is reported for the embedded SATA controller.
        * Performing a NAND format may leave the REST provider registration in an unstable state.
        * Solid state drives are intermittently reported as hard disk drives.   
        * Fixed SNMP configuration read failure issue due to wrong FQDN trap destination configuration.  
        * Fixed an issue that could lead to distorted video after setting boot mode to UEFI via RIBCL.
        * False Self-Test error on USB port may be reported when an HPE ProLiant Gen8-Series server is powered Off (Advisory found at: http://h20565.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-a00007681en_us)
        * Improved error handling of option card AHS data that could result in excessive descriptor growth resulting in large AHS data files.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.55
changelog:
  -     The following issues are resolved in this version:
      
        * Masked out errant failures due to charging of storage battery.
        * Implemented cell voltage separation pre-failure warning for storage battery.
        * iLO RESTful API output might display incorrect power supply information.
        * iLO Federation group authentication errors might occur if you repeatedly add and remove groups during a query.
        * An iLO RESTful API event subscription might be lost when DELETE and CREATE subscriptions occur at the same time that the transmitter waits to retry an action.
        * During CAC smartcard authentication, the iLO RESTful API returns a session URI that incorrectly contains uppercase letters.
        * In certain conditions, the Rest server becomes unavailable during a GET of the IELs.
        * The iLO web interface language pack redirects to English.
        * The iLO RESTful API output text represents upper threshold values as lower thresholds.
        * The Linux openipmi driver does not poll the receive message queue if KCS host irq not enabled.
        * The iLO RESTful API EthernetInterfaces link should be under the system/1 root resource, and not in the OEM section.
        * SNMPv3 Engine Boot is not getting incremented on iLO reset.
        * IPMI FRU read returns incorrect completion code for response too long.
        * IPMI Get PEF Capabilities returns the number of valid table entries instead of the total number of table entries.  
        * IPMI Set Boot Options for one time change for boot mode UEFI/Legacy fixed.  
        * iLO restserver suspends when patching bad payload to external provider array.
        * iLO REST API returned 500 internal error for a GET of systems/1/ leading to failed One View Profile Apply.
        * iLO RESfulT API events are sending incorrect "Host" header when using IPv6.
        * iLO time becomes Unset after update from 2.50 or prior to 2.54.
