Security

OpenVAS vulnerability scanner may report the following issues:

• NVT: OpenSSH 'sftp-server' Security Bypass Vulnerability (Linux) (OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.812051). This is a false positive based on

the OpenSSH version that OME–Modular carries. No SFTP is exposed or supported.

• NVT: SSH Weak Encryption Algorithms Supported (OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.105611). OME–Modular supports secure algorithms and

upgrades SSH clients to the appropriate option. Configure your SSH client to autonegotiate the crypto algorithms used.

Security best practices

• SNMP

○ Security scanners may identify SNMP. If you do not use SNMP in your deployment, you can disable SNMP.

○ If SNMP is required, Dell EMC recommends that the default community name is changed from public.

• By default, a self-signed certificate is generated to enable HTTPS communication. Dell EMC recommends generating a CSR and

installing a valid non-self signed certificate.

Besides improving the security of OME-Modular, these actions eliminate warnings that are produced by vulnerability scanners relating to

the default self-signed web server certificate and default SNMP community name.

NOTE: Dell EMC recommends changing the default password for OME–Modular.

Ethernet Switch firmware update

For instructions about updating network IOMs, see the Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise - Modular Edition Version 1.20.00 for

PowerEdge MX Chassis User's Guide.

A firmware update for passthrough and MX7116n modules is staged for deployment on the next power cycle or virtual reseat of the

module.
