HP has acknowledged some vulnerabilities in HP System Management Homepage, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive information, bypass certain security restrictions, cause a DoS (Denial of Service), or potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

This issue has been reported in versions prior to 2.1.8 on Linux and Windows and the solution is easy - just upgrade to a newer version such as 2.1.8 or later. The Secunia post has links to some of the needed downloads.
