  • The HP FlexFabric Switch, when utilizing PKI-based authentication, must validate certificates by constructing a certification path (which includes status information) to an accepted trust anchor.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Without path validation, an informed trust decision by the relying party cannot be made when presented with any certificate n...

  • The HP FlexFabric Switch must automatically lock the account until the locked account is released by an administrator when three unsuccessful logon attempts in 15 minutes are exceeded.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;By limiting the number of failed logon attempts, the risk of unauthorized system access via user password guessing, otherwise...
