                            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://www.itresourcecenter.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.

       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:

       HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY SECURITY BULLETIN: HPSBUX0208-217
       Originally issued: 11 Sept 2002
       SSRT 2310 OpenSSL Vulnerabilities
     -----------------------------------------------------------------

    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: A remotely exploitable potential vulnerability in a
              Apache OpenSSL code.

    PLATFORM: HP9000 Servers running HP-UX release 11.00, 11.11, 11.20,
              and 11.22 with versions 1.3.26.04 or 2.0.39.04 and earlier,
              of the HP Apache product installed are affected.

    DAMAGE: Potential for increased privilege, DoS, or execution of
              arbitrary code.

    SOLUTION: For HP-UX releases 11.00, 11.11, 11.20 and 11.22 as well
              as release 11.11 running IPv6, download new product
              bundles for OpenSSL 0.9.6g (PA and IPF) from
              <www.software.hp.com>.

    MANUAL ACTIONS: Yes - Install repaired binary.

    AVAILABILITY: Complete product bundles are available now on
                  <www.software.hp.com>

     ------------------------------------------------------------------
    A. Background
        The CERT Advisory CA-2002-23 regarding Multiple Vulnerabilities
        In OpenSSL, affects the following HP product numbers:

        B9415AA Apache 1.3.x HP-UX releases 11.00 and 11.11
        B9416AA Apache 2.x HP-UX releases 11.00 and 11.11
        B9415AA Apache 1.3.x HP-UX releases 11.20 and 11.22
        B9416AA Apache 2.x HP-UX releases 11.20 and 11.22
        B9416BA Apache 2.x IPv6 HP-UX release 11.11

       With this release HP has upgraded to OpenSSL 0.9.6g, and fixes
       certain known OpenSSL vulnerabilities.
       See CVE issues: CAN-2002-0656, CAN-2002-0657,CAN-2002-0655
       at <http://cve.mitre.org/>.

       More information can be found at <http://www.openssl.org>.

       The OpenSSL community has released OpenSSL 0.9.6g as the best
       known version superseding the OpenSSL 0.9.6e release that was
       identified in the CVE report.

       The defects in mod_ssl version 2.8.10 (Apache 1.3.x only) is also
       addressed herein.
      
       Finally, this release also has upgraded MM version 1.2.1, which
       fixes certain known vulnerabilities. OSSP mm library (libmm)
       before 1.2.0 allows the local Apache user to gain privileges.
       More details can be found in the issue CAN-2002-0658 at
       <http://cve.mitre.org/>. (Apache 1.3.x only)

       Before updating, make sure to stop any previous HP Apache binary.
       Otherwise, the previous binary will continue running, preventing
       the new one from automatically starting, although the
       installation would be successful.

       The command to stop the HP Apache binary is:
           for 1.3.26:
                /opt/apache/bin/apachectl stop
           for 2.0.39:
                /opt/hpapache2/bin/apachectl stop

        HP Apache automatically starts upon installation if port 80
        is available.

        Installation of this new version of HP Apache over an existing
        HP Apache installation is supported, while installation over a
        non-HP Apache is NOT supported.

    -->> Note: On 10.20 the DNS API is contained in libc. Programs -->> which make DNS calls and are linked with libc.a -->> must be relinked. So far as is known HP delivers -->> no such programs. -->> Programs which are linked with ".a" libraries -->> are statically linked. -->> Statically linked programs may be tested as follows: -->> -->> strings suspect_program | grep "Too many addresses (%d)" -->> -->> If the program contains the string it may make -->> DNS API calls and should be relinked with the -->> fixed version of libc.a.
