What to do
NVD marks firmware before these versions as affected: integrated_lights-out_firmware before 2.30. The usual fix is to update to that version or later. Vendors patch each firmware branch separately, so confirm the fixed build for your branch in the advisory.
NVD names no vendor advisory for it. Look it up at HPE security advisories (search for CVE-2015-5436).
