Summary
The remote host has a vulnerable version of the HP Ignite-UX application installed that exposes the /etc/passwd file to anonymous TFTP access.
Solution
Solution
Upgrade to a version of the Ignite-UX application that does not exhibit this behaviour. If it is not required, disable or uninstall the TFTP server. Otherwise restrict access to trusted sources only.
