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

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