RESOLUTION

The following table outlines the suggested resolutions to the vulnerabilities described above. Suggested remedies will be different on a product-by-product depending on developer of the Java Runtime Environment and any dependencies for synchronization between server and client side components. 

Product
Recommendation
Insight Manager XE
Insight Manager XE uses the Microsoft Java Runtime Environment integrated into Microsoft Internet Explorer. HP recommends that Insight Manager XE users upgrade to Insight Manager 7 SP1 that will be available for download in the first half of May at http://www.compaq.com/manage 

Insight Manager 7 SP1 leverages version 1.3.1_02 of the Sun Java Runtime Environment that addresses the vulnerabilities described above. Prior to the release of Insight Manager 7 SP1, HP recommends that users exercise care when browsing to sites outside of the internal network using a browser with a vulnerable version of the Microsoft Java Runtime Environment. 

While it is possible to update the browser to the version of the Java Runtime Environment recommended by Microsoft, this version has not been tested with Insight Manager XE and HP cannot guarantee that Insight Manager XE will function properly.
Insight Manager 7
Insight Manager 7 uses the Sun Java Runtime Environment version 1.3.1 in place of the Microsoft Java Runtime Environment. HP is in the process of incorporating version 1.3.1_02 of the runtime environment, which fixes the aforementioned vulnerability, into Insight Manager 7 Service Pack 1. 

Insight Manager 7 SP1 will be available at the beginning of May. Users may not use version 1.3.1_02 of the plug-in with the current version of Insight Manager 7 as newer versions of the Sun Java Runtime Environment are not backwards compatible and the Insight Manager 7 may not function properly if client and server side runtime environments are not of the same version. 

HP recommends that current Insight Manager 7 users close Microsoft Internet Explorer prior to browsing to untrusted sites outside of the corporate firewall. This will ensure that the Java plug-in is closed prior to browsing to sites on the public Internet. With Insight Manager 7 SP1, the requirement to close the browser prior to visiting public sites will be removed.
