HP Support Information Digests

===============================================================================
o Security Bulletin Digest Split
------------------------------

   The security bulletins digest has been split into multiple digests
   based on the operating system (HP-UX, MPE/iX, and HP Secure OS
   Software for Linux). You will continue to receive all security
   bulletin digests unless you choose to update your subscriptions.

   To update your subscriptions, use your browser to access the
   IT Resource Center on the World Wide Web at:

http://support.itrc.hp.com/

   Under the Maintenance and Support Menu, click on the "more..." link.
   Then use the 'login' link at the left side of the screen to login
   using your IT Resource Center User ID and Password.

Under the notifications section (near the bottom of the page), select
Support Information Digests.

   To subscribe or unsubscribe to a specific security bulletin digest,
   select or unselect the checkbox beside it. Then click the
   "Update Subscriptions" button at the bottom of the page.

o IT Resource Center World Wide Web Service
---------------------------------------------------

   If you subscribed through the IT Resource Center and would
   like to be REMOVED from this mailing list, access the
   IT Resource Center on the World Wide Web at:

http://support.itrc.hp.com/

   Login using your IT Resource Center User ID and Password.
   Then select Support Information Digests (located under
   Maintenance and Support). You may then unsubscribe from the
   appropriate digest.

PROBLEM: Potential security vulnerability in DCE.

IMPACT: Remotely initiated denial of service.

**REVISED 01**
PLATFORM: HP-UX B.11.00, B.11.11,
--> B.11.23.

SOLUTION: Install the appropriate patch:
B.11.00 - PHSS_29963
B.11.11 - PHSS_29964

CHANGE SUMMARY: Rev.01 - Added B.11.23.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
**REVISED 01**
A. Background

Certain network traffic can cause DCE processes to fail
leading to a denial of service.

    Note: The B.11.11 patch also resolves the issue of
          HPSBUX0903-276. The issue of HPSBUX0903-276
          only affects B.11.11.

AFFECTED VERSIONS

     The following is a list by HP-UX revision of
     affected filesets or patches and fix information.
     To determine if a system has an affected version,
     search the output of "swlist -a revision -l fileset"
     for an affected fileset or patch, then determine if
     a fixed revision or applicable patch is installed.

     HP-UX B.11.00
     =============
     DCE-Core.DCE-CORE-SHLIB
     DCE-Core.DCE-CORE-DTS
     DCE-Core.DCE-CORE-RUN

C. To subscribe to automatically receive future NEW HP Security
Bulletins from the HP IT Resource Center via electronic
mail, do the following:

Use your browser to get to the HP IT Resource Center page
at:

http://itrc.hp.com

    using your ID and password. Use your existing login or the
    "Register" button at the left to create a login, in order to
    gain access to many areas of the ITRC. Remember to save the
    User ID assigned to you, and your password.

In the left most frame select "Maintenance and Support".

Under the "Notifications" section (near the bottom of
the page), select "Support Information Digests".

    To -subscribe- to future HP Security Bulletins or other
    Technical Digests, click the check box (in the left column)
    for the appropriate digest and then click the "Update
    Subscriptions" button at the bottom of the page.

To -review- bulletins already released, select the link
(in the middle column) for the appropriate digest.

    NOTE: Using your itrc account security bulletins can be
          found here:
    http://itrc.hp.com/cki/bin/doc.pl/screen=ckiSecurityBulletin

    To -gain access- to the Security Patch Matrix, select
    the link for "The Security Bulletins Archive". (near the
    bottom of the page) Once in the archive the third link is
    to the current Security Patch Matrix. Updated daily, this
    matrix categorizes security patches by platform/OS release,
    and by bulletin topic. Security Patch Check completely
    automates the process of reviewing the patch matrix for
    11.XX systems. Please note that installing the patches
    listed in the Security Patch Matrix will completely
    implement a security bulletin _only_ if the MANUAL ACTIONS
    field specifies "No."

    The Security Patch Check tool can verify that a security
    bulletin has been implemented on HP-UX 11.XX systems providing
    that the fix is completely implemented in a patch with no
    manual actions required. The Security Patch Check tool cannot
    verify fixes implemented via a product upgrade.

    For information on the Security Patch Check tool, see:
    http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/

a. Download the files into a protected directory
such as /etc.

b. Unpack the files with gunzip(1)

c. Verify the cksum or the md5 sum.

d. Cd to the directory containing the new files.

Then:

      DIR=/usr/lib/pa20_64
      cp libxti.2-pa20_64-perf $DIR
      chmod 555 $DIR/libxti.2-pa20_64-perf
      chown bin $DIR/libxti.2-pa20_64-perf
      chgrp bin $DIR/libxti.2-pa20_64-perf
      mv $DIR/libxti.2 $DIR/orig_libxti.2
      mv $DIRlibxti.2-pa20_64-perf $DIR/libxti.2

      DIR=/usr/lib
      cp libxti.2-pa11-perf $DIR
      chmod 555 $DIR/libxti.2-pa11-perf
      chown bin $DIR/libxti.2-pa11-perf
      chgrp bin $DIR/libxti.2-pa20_64-perf
      mv $DIR/libxti.2 $DIR/orig_libxti.2
      mv $DIR/libxti.2-pa11-perf $DIR/libxti.2

      DIR=/usr/lib/hpux64
      cp libxti.so.1-em_64-perf $DIR
      chmod 555 $DIR/libxti.so.1-em_64-perf
      chown bin $DIR/libxti.so.1-em_64-perf
      chgrp bin $DIR/libxti.so.1-em_64-perf
      mv $DIR/libxti.so.1 $DIR/orig_libxti.so.1
      mv $DIR/libxti.so.1-em_64-perf $DIR/libxti.so.1

      DIR=/usr/lib/hpux32
      cp libxti.so.1-em_32-perf $DIR
      chmod 555 $DIR/libxti.so.1-em_32-perf
      chown bin $DIR/libxti.so.1-em_32-perf
      chgrp bin $DIR/libxti.so.1-em_32-perf
      mv $DIR/libxti.so.1 $DIR/orig_libxti.so.1
      mv $DIR/libxti.so.1-em_32-perf $DIR/libxti.so.1

      It is not necessary to reboot the system. However,
      currently executing programs will continue to use the
      original libraries until they are restarted. Rebooting
      the system insures that all programs use the new libraries.
