      Title: Sec. Vulnerability in setrlimit(1M) (rev. 1)

---------------------------------------------------------------
    HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY SECURITY BULLETIN: #0156,
    Originally issued 2 July '01
    Last changed: 08 October '01
 ---------------------------------------------------------------

The information in the following Security Bulletin should be acted
upon as soon as possible. Hewlett-Packard Company will not be
liable for any consequences to any customer resulting from customer's
failure to fully implement instructions in this Security Bulletin as
soon as possible.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------
PROBLEM: The setrlimit() allows incorrect core files

** Rev.1 **
PLATFORM: HP9000 Series 700/800 running HP-UX releases 10.01, 10.10,
---->>>> 10.20, 10.24, 10.26, 11.04, and 11.00 only.

DAMAGE: Possible denial of service

SOLUTION: Install the appropriate patch for the HP-UX release:
** Rev.1 **
             11.11 PHKL_23423,
             11.04 PHKL_23886,
             11.00 PHKL_23628,
             10.20 700 PHKL_22701,
             10.20 800 PHKL_22702,
             10.24 700 PHKL_24249,
             10.24 800 PHKL_24250,
 ---->>>> 10.26 700 PHKL_25243,
 ---->>>> 10.26 800 PHKL_25244,
             10.10 700 PHKL_23477,
             10.10 800 PHKL_23478,
             10.01 700 PHKL_23512,
             10.01 800 PHKL_23513.

MANUAL ACTIONS: None

AVAILABILITY: The patches are available now.

CHANGE SUMMARY: Updated patch information.
 ---------------------------------------------------------------
 A. Background
    Hewlett-Packard has discovered that a process that at one time was
    setuid/setgid could create corefiles or be attached to with a
    debugger. If the process core file's size limit has been set to 0
    in setrlimit(), when the process aborts, the core processing is
    incorrect.

 B. Recommended solution
    After applying this patch, the kernel now remembers that the
    process was at one time setuid/setgid, and disallow corefiles
    and debugger attachment. If the process core file size limit
    has been set to zero, it obeys.

    Application of the appropriate patch selected from the list below
    completely solves this problem.

** Rev.1 **
    For HP-UX release:
           11.11 PHKL_23423,
           11.04 PHKL_23886,
           11.00 PHKL_23628,
           10.20 700 PHKL_22701,
           10.20 800 PHKL_22702,
           10.24 700 PHKL_24249,
           10.24 800 PHKL_24250,
 ---->>>> 10.26 700 PHKL_25243,
 ---->>>> 10.26 800 PHKL_25244,
           10.10 700 PHKL_23477,
           10.10 800 PHKL_23478,
           10.01 700 PHKL_23512,
           10.01 800 PHKL_23513.

    Note: Many of these patches have dependencies. A reboot will
          be required.
