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://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
---------------------------------------------------

   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://support.itrc.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

    bulletin has been implemented on HP-UX 11.XX systems providing
    that the fix is completely implemented in a patch with no
    manual actions required. The Security Patch Check tool cannot
    verify fixes implemented via a product upgrade.

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

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

-----------------------------------------------------------------
PROBLEM: uusub(1) and uucp(1) have potential buffer overflows.

IMPACT: Potential local escalation of privileges.

PLATFORM: HP-UX releases B.10.20, B.11.00, and B.11.11.

**REVISED 01**
SOLUTION: Apply the appropriate patch:
PHCO_29382 for B.11.11
PHCO_29381 for B.11.00

**REVISED 01**
MANUAL ACTIONS: No

**REVISED 01**
AVAILABILITY: All patches are available on <itrc.hp.com>.

CHANGE SUMMARY: Rev. 01 Final patches released
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A. Background
    A potential buffer overflow in uucp(1) and uusub has been
    identified and has now been fixed. This problem only affects
    HP-UX releases 10.20, 11.00 and 11.11.

--> AFFECTED VERSIONS

--> HP-UX B.11.11
     =============
     UUCP.UUCP
     fix: install PHCO_29382 or subsequent

--> HP-UX B.11.00
     =============
     UUCP.UUCP
     UUCP.UUCP-ENG-A-MAN
     fix: install PHCO_29381 or subsequent

--> HP-UX B.10.20
     =============
     UUCP.UUCP
     UUCP.UUCP-ENG-A-MAN
     fix: write to security-alerthp.com for information.

END AFFECTED VERSIONS

    NOT IMPACTED:
      HP NonStop Servers,
      HP Tru64 UNIX/TruCluster Server,
      HP OpenVMS
      HP-UX VVOS (11.04)

The SSRT thanks LSD Research Group (http://lsd-pl.net) for
reporting this potential vulnerability to HP.

B. Recommended solution
    The following temporary depot files MUST be removed before
    the official patch is installed. Failure to properly remove
    these could cause corruption of the system and inadvertently
    re-introduce the problem at a later time when the temporary
    patch is removed.

    The temporary files to be removed were:
          for HP-UX 11.00 PHCO_29106.depot
          for HP-UX 11.11 UNOF_29107.depot

    Now apply the appropriate patch:
               PHCO_29382 for B.11.11
               PHCO_29381 for B.11.00

    Download the patch from itrc.hp.com, copy the depot to a
    protected directory, and launch Software Distributor (SD)
    to install.

On systems running the discontinued and obsoleted B.10.20
continue to use the temporary depot: PHCO_29105.depot.
