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.

 SSRT3618 Security Vulnerability in HP-UX shells
 -----------------------------------------------------------------

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.

 -----------------------------------------------------------------

         denial of service.

PLATFORM: HP9000 servers running HP-UX versions B.10.20, B.11.00,
          B.11.11.

MANUAL ACTIONS: No

AVAILABILITY: All patches are available now on itrc.hp.com
 -----------------------------------------------------------------
 A. Background
    Many system modules create insecure temporary files with a
    name based on a process id, and write subsequent input
    to that file. Improper error checking of various sytem
    calls results in a vulnerability.

    Reference:
    CERT-VN:VU#10277 URL:http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/10277
    http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2000-1134

    This problem also affects HP Tru64 UNIX
       See SSRT1-41U, SSRT0742U, SSRT0759U

    NOTE: This problem does not impact HP NonStop Servers

    AFFECTED VERSIONS
    The following is a list by HP-UX revision of
    affected filesets and the fileset revision or
    patch containing the fix. To determine if a
    system has an affected version, search the
    output of "swlist -a revision -l fileset"
    for an affected fileset, then determine if
    a fixed revision or the applicable patch is
    installed.

    HP-UX B.11.11
    =============
    OS-Core.UX-CORE
    fix: install patches
           PHCO_27345 B.11.11 sh-posix
           PHCO_27019 B.11.11 ksh
           PHCO_26561 B.11.11 csh

    HP-UX B.11.00
    =============
    OS-Core.UX-CORE
    fix: install patches
           PHCO_27344 B.11.00 sh-posix
           PHCO_27418 B.11.00 ksh
           PHCO_27763 B.11.00 csh

    HP-UX B.10.20
    =============
    OS-Core.UX-CORE
    fix: install patches
           PHCO_27804 B.10.20 sh-posix
           PHCO_27803 B.10.20 ksh
           PHCO_27819 B.10.20 csh

    END AFFECTED VERSIONS

 B. Recommended solution

PROBLEM: Potential security vulnerability in DCE.

IMPACT: DCE processes may fail.

          supplied by one or more of the following:

          B6931DA HP IT/Operations A.05.x,
          B6931AA HP IT/Operations A.05.x,

                  A.07.x
          B7428AA HP OV PERFORMANCE AGENT SUN-SOLARIS C.02.05 and
                  subsequent

SOLUTION: Please contact your HP support representative
          for information concerning a preliminary fix.

MANUAL ACTIONS: Non-HP-UX only

AVAILABILITY: This bulletin will be revised when patches are
               available.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------
 A. Background

    The worm referred to as "Blaster" or "W32.Blaster.worm", may
    impact hp OpenView products running on Microsoft Windows,
    HP-UX, Solaris and Linux.

    More information about the worm can be found at:
    <http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/blast.asp>

    It is important that you follow the instructions from
    Microsoft and apply appropriate patches to all servers
    running Microsoft Windows.

    As the worm attempts to find new systems to infect it can
    cause DCE to fail. The HP-UX, Solaris, and Linux systems
    running DCE are not infected by the worm. DCE is impacted as
    as side effect of the network traffic generated by the worm.

    The impact is that critical DCE daemons can abort. These
    daemons and the OpenView software which depends on them
    would need to be restarted manually.

    This problem has been reported by CERT/cc:

        <http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/377804>

     CERT/cc reports that the vulnerability can be
     triggered by attempts to exploit Microsoft RPC
     vulnerabilities:

        <http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/568148>
        <http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/326746>

 B. Recommended solution

    For Solaris and Linux please contact your support HP
    representative for information concerning a preliminary fix.
    Customers without a support contact should write to
    security-alerthp.com for information.

    For systems running Microsoft Windows please refer to:

    <http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/blast.asp>

    For HP-UX systems please refer to HPSBUX0308-273.
