HP Power Manager is prone to multiple remote code-execution vulnerabilities because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges, resulting in a complete compromise of the affected computer. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. Versions prior to Power Manager 4.2.10 are affected.

The vendor has released updates and an advisory. Please see the references for details.
