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:
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:
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.

SSRT2336 Security Vulnerability in XDR library
-----------------------------------------------------------------
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: Potential buffer overflow in XDR library.
IMPACT: Potential unauthorized access, denial of service.
**REVISED 02**
-->>PLATFORM: HP 9000 Series 700 and 800 10.20, 10.24, 11.00,
11.04, 11.11, and 11.22
SOLUTION: Until patches are available manually install the
appropriate fixed libraries.
Install PHCO_27882 for 10.24.
MANUAL ACTIONS: Yes - NonUpdate
Install the appropriate fixed libraries.
Install PHCO_27882 for 10.24.
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"
Rev.02 - added 10.24 and 11.04, also added libc.1
for 11.00, 11.11, and 11.22.
------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Background
CERT Advisory CA-2002-25 reports an integer overflow in
certain implementations of XDR libraries. Libraries supplied
-->>with HP-UX 10.20, 10.24, 11,00, 11.04, 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:
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:xdr1
hprc.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.

-->> Note: The patches which supply the libc and libnsl

Copy the appropriate files to a secure directory,
for example /. Then,
