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

   like to be REMOVED from this mailing list, access the
   IT Resource Center on the World Wide Web at:

PROBLEM: Java(TM) Runtime Environment classloader may allow
an untrusted applet to escalate privileges.

IMPACT: Potential information leakage and improper code
execution.

**REVISED 01**
PLATFORM: Any HP-UX system (B.11.00, B.11.04, B.11.11, B.11.22,
          B.11.23) running the supported versions of Java 1.2.X,
          1.3.X, and 1.4.1.X is affected. Java 1.4.2 is
          unaffected.

  --> HP9000 Servers 700/800 running the HP-UX release
  --> 11.04 (VVOS) with Virtualvault A.04.50 or
  --> Virtualvault A.04.60 or Virtualvault A.04.70
  --> installed.

**REVISED 01**
SOLUTION: Manually update to version of Java with the security
fixes:

   Java 1.4.1.04 or later (T1456AA (JDK 1.4), T1457AA (JRE 1.4))

  --> This update is needed only if the customer has downloaded
  --> and integrated java on the Virtualvault platform. The Java
  --> Runtime Environment shipped along with the Virtualvault
  --> product is not affected by the above vulnerability.

MANUAL ACTIONS: Yes - update Java to:
                     Java 1.4.1.04 or later

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

    Use the 'Login' tab at the left side of the screen to login
    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/
    displayProductInfo.pl?productNumber=B6834AA

The security patch matrix is also available via anonymous
ftp:

ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/export/patches/hp-ux_patch_matrix/
