Security bulletin and alert policy for non-HP owned software components

Open source software (such as OpenSSL) or third-party software (such as Java) are sometimes included in HP products. HP discloses that the non-HP owned software components listed in the Insight Management end user license agreement (EULA) are included with Insight Management. The EULA is included with the Insight Management Installer on Insight Management DVD #1.

HP addresses security bulletins for the software components listed in the EULA with the same level of support afforded HP products. HP is committed to reducing security defects and helping you mitigate the risks associated with security defects when they do occur.

When a security defect is found, HP has a well defined process that culminates with the publication of a security bulletin. The security bulletin provides you with a high level description of the problem and explains how to mitigate the security defect.
