Latest Updates
Known issue - May 6, 2014 (1:00PM MDT)
LANDESK is aware of an issue that is affecting some customers who apply LD95-CP_BASE-2014-0417. The issue causes some functionality on the right click menu to not function. They are the 'run now' type of functions such as running an inventory scan, or a vulnerability scan etc. When these options are selected, an error about loading ShutdownReboot.dll will appear in the 'Status of requested actions' window. LANDESK is currently investigating this issue. This does not affect other functionality such as Scheduled Tasks to run scans or otherwise, and is not affecting all customers who have applied the patch.

LANDESK releases the patch to resolve the vulnerability on the Cloud Services Appliance.
April 14, 2014
LANDESK has been able to create a patch for the Cloud Services Appliance that is undergoing testing. This has moved quicker than we have expected and a patch should be released soon. We are continuing to test solutions for this vulnerability on our Core and Client systems. We have run into some complications in this testing with the functionality once creating a fix for “Heartbleed”, which is delaying the release of a patch.
April 11, 2014
We have continued to review our entire product line and have been able to narrow down exactly which versions of LANDESK Management Suite are vulnerable to “Heartbleed”. Our continuing research of our Service Desk, Mobility, and Shavlik solutions to determine that there aren’t any issues exist within these products. LANDESK issues statement on “Heartbleed” at http://www.landesk.com/blog/heartbleed-landesk-portfolio/.
April 10, 2014
As our research continued, so did the information that we have been able to uncover regarding this vulnerability. Additional details around how this is affecting customers using our products have been added to this document. Our development teams continue to investigate and have determined how we can get our Cloud Services Appliance fixed. We have been given an ETA of 04/18/2014.
April 9, 2014
Our development teams along with Support are continuing our investigation into this vulnerability. We are determining what kind of information is made available through this exploit within our products. The ways that this affects LANDESK products has been added to the document.
April 8, 2014
LANDESK is aware of and currently investigating the OpenSSL vulnerability known as “Heartbleed”. Updates will be provided to customers through this document.
What is this vulnerability?
There is a bug in the OpenSSL's implementation of the TLS/DTLS (transport layer security protocols) heartbeat extension (RFC6520). When it is exploited it leads to the leak of memory contents from the server to the client and from the client to the server.
From CVE: "The (1) TLS and (2) DTLS implementations in OpenSSL 1.0.1 before 1.0.1g do not properly handle Heartbeat Extension packets, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory via crafted packets that trigger a buffer over-read, as demonstrated by reading private keys, related to d1_both.c and t1_lib.c, aka the Heartbleed bug."
For more information, please see https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-0160 and http://heartbleed.com/

Additionally, none of the LANDESK customer or partner-facing websites are impacted by this vulnerability.
More Details
The following outlines additional details about affected products, services and updates
Internal Network(s)
LANDESK Management Suite Core Server
Can potentialy impact communication between the Core and the Cloud Services Appliance. See below for more information about the CSA
Communication via IIS is not affected.
A Component Patch for LDMS 9.5 SP2 is now available. Please see the download links above. It will be released in Patch Content in the next few days.
Package Server
Any package server being used by LANDESK that might use OpenSSL could be affected. An Apache web server or NAS device for example. Please check with the appropriate party for an update to these applications or servers.
LANDESK will not be producing any update or change to address any third party applications or servers.
LANDESK Management Suite Client
The vulnerable OpenSSL libraries are used in the LANDESK CBA Client and Remote Control components. However these services operate on non-standard ports. There is also an additional layer of protection afforded by the authentication these services require.
The CBA/Resident Agent components respond to "push" requests from the Core Server to perform certain tasks. These tasks can include inventory scans, software deployments, patching, custom scripts and others. For these requests, additional threads and processes are used, thus limiting the memory available to this vulnerability. The private key for these interactions is stored on the Core Server. LANDESK has been unable find any instance where the private key or user credentials are sent to the Resident Agent.
LANDESK has released LD-CR131352-95 in content. Please read http://community.landesk.com/support/docs/DOC-31434 for further instruction on deploying this patch.
External Network(s)
Cloud Services Appliance
All data on the Cloud Services Appliance is encrypted using SHA1. The data that could be exposed through this vulnerability will not grant access to usernames, passwords or private keys.
CSA patch GSB431_137 is being posted to the servers and will be available today 04/15/2014.
