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

NOTICE: There are no restrictions for distribution of this Bulletin
provided that it remains complete and intact.

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: Multiple vulnerabilities in fetchmail package

IMPACT: Potential to crash fetchmail or allow remote code execution

PLATFORM: Any system running HP Secure OS Software for Linux Release 1.0

SOLUTION: Apply the appropriate patch.

AVAILABILITY: The RPMs are available now.
 ------------------------------------------------------------------

 A. Background

    Fetchmail is a remote mail retrieval and forwarding utility intended
    for use over on-demand TCP/IP links such as SLIP and PPP connections.
    Fetchmail is not included in the default installation of HP Secure
    OS Software for Linux.

    Unpatched versions prior to 6.1.0 contain two security flaws. The
    RPM packages mentioned below contain a backported fix.

 B. Recommended solution

    Hewlett-Packard Company recommends that customers who have installed
    fetchmail download the RPMs listed in the following Red Hat
    Security Advisory in the section labeled "Red Hat Linux 7.1".

    2002-10-07 RHSA-2002:215 Updated fetchmail packages fix
                              vulnerabilities

    http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2002-215.html

    To install the security advisory RPMs, use the following sequence
    of commands:

    1. If you use the tripwire product, we recommend that you run a
       a consistency check and fix any violations before installing
       the security advisory RPM.

           tripwire --check --interactive

    2. Install the advisory RPM from the root account.

           rpm -F <advisory RPM name>

    3. Update the tripwire database

           tripwire --check --interactive

    NOTE:
    The rpm -q <package name> command can be used to determine if the
    package is installed. Hewlett-Packard recommends applying the
    security advisory fixes to installed packages only. The -F option
    to the RPM installer will only apply the fix if the package is
    currently installed on the system. Dependent RPMs can be found by
    using the "Find Latest RPMs" search facility at
    http://www.redhat.com/apps/download. To find the latest dependent
    RPM enter the RPM's name in the "By Keyword" box.

 C. To subscribe to automatically receive future NEW HP Security
    Bulletins from the HP IT Resource Center via electronic

PROBLEM: Security vulnerability in nss_ldap package

IMPACT: Potential for denial of service

PLATFORM: Any system running HP Secure OS Software for Linux Release 1.0

SOLUTION: Apply the appropriate patch.

AVAILABILITY: The RPMs are available now.
 ------------------------------------------------------------------
 A. Background

    nss_ldap is a set of C library extensions that allow X.500 and
    LDAP directory servers to be used as a primary source of aliases,
    ethers, groups, hosts, networks, protocols, users, RPCs, services,
    and shadow passwords (instead of or in addition to using flat
    files or NIS).

    Updated nss_ldap packages are now available. These updates fix
    a potential buffer overflow. The Common Vulnerabilities and
    Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
    CAN-2002-0825 to this issue.

 B. Recommended solution

    Hewlett-Packard Company recommends that customers who have
    installed nss_ldap download the RPMs listed in the following Red
    Hat Security Advisory in the section labeled "Red Hat Linux 7.1 i386".

---------------------------------------------------------------
    HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY SECURITY ADVISORY: HPSBTL0209-067
    Originally issued: 10 Sep 2002
---------------------------------------------------------------

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

Because the vulnerability does not require a Hewlett-Packard Secure OS
1.0 patch or re-packaging of the RPM affected by the advisory, the
RPMs have not been produced or tested by Hewlett-Packard.

---------------------------------------------------------------
PROBLEM: Security vulnerability in gaim package

PLATFORM: Any system running HP Secure OS Software for Linux Release 1.0

DAMAGE: Potential remote command execution

SOLUTION: Apply the appropriate RPMs (see section B below)

AVAILABILITY: The RPMs are available now.
 ---------------------------------------------------------------
 A. Background

    Updated gaim packages are now available. Gaim is an instant
    messaging client based on the published TOC protocol from AOL.
    Versions of gaim prior to 0.59.1 contain a flaw that can
    potentially allow remote execution of a shell script.

    Users of gaim should update to the packages containing gaim
    0.59.1 which is not vulnerable to this issue. Gaim is not
    included in the default installation of HP Secure OS Software
    for Linux Release 1.0.

 B. Fixing the problem

    Hewlett-Packard Company recommends that customers who have installed
    gaim download the RPMs listed in the following Red Hat Security
    Advisory in the section labeled "Red Hat Linux 7.1 i386".
