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

PROBLEM: Security vulnerability in ypserv
IMPACT: Potential for remotely triggered memory leak
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
Ypserv is an NIS authentication server. Ypserv versions
before 2.5 contain a memory leak that can potentially be triggered
remotely. Ypserv is not included in the default installation of
HP Secure OS Software for Linux.
B. Recommended solution
Hewlett-Packard Company recommends that customers who have
installed ypserv download the RPMs listed in the
following Red Hat Security Advisory in the section labeled
"Red Hat Linux 7.1".
2002-10-24 RHSA-2002:223 Updated ypserv packages fixes memory leak
http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2002-223.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.
