-----------------------------------------------------------------
A. Background
CERT has reported that network device drivers may reuse old
frame buffer data to pad packets resulting in an information
leakage vulnerability that may allow remote harvesting of
sensitive information from affected devices.
http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/412115
The only HP-UX network device drivers affected are:
btlan0 for EISA on 10.20/11.00
lan3 for NIO on 10.20/11.00
NOT IMPACTED:
HP NonStop Servers,
HP Tru64 UNIX/TruCluster Server,
HP OpenVMS
B. Recommended solution
These patches completely solve the identified problem,
for HP-UX 11.00
PHNE_28143 s700_800 lan3 LAN product cumulative patch
PHNE_28636 s700_800 EISA 100BT cumulative patch
for HP-UX 10.20
PHNE_28635 s700_800 EISA 100BT cumulative patch
PHNE_28536 s800 LAN products cumulative patch
PHNE_28535 s700 LAN products cumulative patch
To identify if your system uses the affected drivers, as
root run ioscan to list all reportable hardware:
#/sbin/ioscan -fkClan
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
============================================================
lan 1 8/20/5/1 btlan0 CLAIMED INTERFACE EISA card
# ioscan -fkClan
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
