    Installation

*Notes:*

 1. After installing the fix, additional instructions are needed for
    CVE-2014-0160.  See *Security Bulletin: Power Hardware Management
    Console is affected by vulnerabilities in OpenSSL (CVE-2014-0160 and
    CVE-2014-0076)* at
    http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1020021
 2. This PTF should be applied last, after any other fixes.  If another
    fix is installed after MH01423, the MH01423 splash screen
    information will be removed.   The fix is still applied and active
    however the PTF needs to be re-installed to restore the splash
    screen information.

    Additional information


      Notes:

 1. This PTF resolves the vulnerability by back porting the fix onto the
    HMCs current version of openssl.  The release level on the package
    has been updated to reflect the fix.
 2. The Install Corrective Service task now allows you to install
    corrective service updates from the ISO image files of these
    updates. You can download these ISO image files for the HMC, and
    then use the ISO image file to install the corrective service
    update. You no longer need to burn CD-R or DVD-R media to use the
    ISO image file to install corrective service.
 3. This image requires DVD -R media.
 4. To install updates over the network, select the *.iso file on the
    "Select Service Package" panel of the Install Corrective Service
    task. The HMC application extracts the files needed to install the
    corrective service. If you are using USB flash media, copy the *.iso
    file to the flash media, and then select the file when prompted.
 5. The *updhmc* command line command has also been modified to use the
    *.iso file. To use the command, follow the syntax in this example:
    updhmc -t s -h <myservername> -f
    </home/updates/corrrective_service.iso> -u <HMC_username> -i
