CVE-2013-3573 - Fixed in HP Insight Diagnostics 8.20 b2878
CVE-2013-3574 - Fixed in HP Insight Diagnostics 9.52
CVE-2013-3575 - Fixed in HP Insight Diagnostics 9.52

---

Restrict Network Access

As a general good security practice, only allow connections from trusted hosts and networks. Restricting access would prevent an attacker from connecting to the service from a blocked network location.
