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.

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://www.itresourcecenter.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.

 **REVISED 01**
 HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY SECURITY BULLETIN: HPSBUX0209-215
 Originally issued: 09 September 2002
 Last revised: 12 September 2002
 SSRT2336 Security Vulnerability in XDR library
 -----------------------------------------------------------------

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: Potential buffer overflow in XDR library.

PLATFORM: HP 9000 Series 700 and 800 10.20, 11.00, 11.11, and 11.22

DAMAGE: Potential unauthorized access, denial of service.

SOLUTION: Until patches are available manually install the
          appropriate fixed libraries.

MANUAL ACTIONS: Yes - NonUpdate
                Install the appropriate fixed libraries.
                Relink any archived programs that call
                xdr_array().

AVAILABILITY: This bulletin will be updated when patches are
               available.

CHANGE SUMMARY: Rev.01 - corrected "strings" to "strings -a"
 ------------------------------------------------------------------
 A. Background
    CERT Advisory CA-2002-25 reports an integer overflow in
    certain implementations of XDR libraries. Libraries supplied
    with HP-UX 10.20, 11,00, 11.11, and 11.22 are potentially
    vulnerable.

    In addition, cross-reference:
    HP Tru64 UNIX: Case id: SSRT2309 rpc XDR_ARRAY
       A solution is available as noted in the recent
       security bulletin SSSRT2275 at
       http://thenew.hp.com/country/us/eng/support.html
       Use the SEARCH IN feature box, enter SSRT2275 in the
       search window.

 B. Recommended solution
    Until patches are released download and manually install
    the appropriate libraries.
 
    Note: It will be necessary to relink any programs that
    call xdr_array() and are linked with archived libraries.
    There are no known programs supplied by HP which need to
    be relinked. To test an archived program:

 **REVISED 01**
-->> strings -a suspect_program | grep xdr_array:

    If the command above returns "xdr_array: out of memory"
    the suspect_program will need to the relinked with a
    fixed library.

    Download the appropriate files from:

     System: hprc.external.hp.com (192.170.19.51)
     Login: xdr
     Password: xdr1

     FTP Access: hprc.external.hp.com/">ftp://xdr:xdr1hprc.external.hp.com/
             or: 192.170.19.51/">ftp://xdr:xdr1192.170.19.51/

      Note: There is an ftp defect in IE5 that may result in
            a browser hang. To work around this:
      - Select Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced
      - Un-check the option: [ ] Enable folder view for FTP sites.

     The files are:

        PHCO_26152.depot.gz

        libnsl.1.32_11.00.gz
        libnsl.a.32_11.00.gz
        libnsl.1.64_11.00.gz
