Latest HPE Servers Security News #1
Starting today, I want to publish weekly posts about latest HPE servers security vulnerabilities because HPE is one of most biggest server hardware vendors and many companies are using HPE servers in their data centers.
Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) Version 2019.03.0
HPE has released latest version of server hardware firmware as HPE Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP). This is first release for 2019 and it contains all firmware for hardware which still supported by HPE. There is no new firmware for discontinued devices.
ESXi Fails with “Corruption in dlmalloc” on HPE Server
“Corruption in dlmalloc” issue occurs because multiple esxcfg-dumppart threads attempt to free memory which has been used for configuring the dump partition. Thread A checks if there are entries to be freed and proceeds to free them, while within the same time frame, Thread B is also attempting to free the same entries.
Based on VMware KB2147888, this issue is resolved on ESXi 6 U3. But why issue is happening on ESXi 6 U3 or ESXi 6.5 U1 when they are installed on HPE ProLiant servers?
HPE Service Pack For ProLiant 2018.09.0 (HPE SPP)
HPE has release “HPE Service Pack For ProLiant 2018.09.0 (HPE SPP)” for production servers and it’s available to download. The Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) is a comprehensive systems software and firmware update solution, which is delivered as a single ISO image. This solution uses Smart Update Manager (SUM) as the deployment tool and is tested on all HPE ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 servers as defined in the Service Pack for ProLiant Server Support Guide found at www.hpe.com/servers/spp/documentation.
