B. FIXES
Fixes are available. The fixes can be downloaded via ftp
from:
ftp://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/libodm_fix.tar
The link above is to a tar file containing this signed
advisory, fix packages, and PGP signatures for each package.
The fixes below include prerequisite checking. This will
enforce the correct mapping between the fixes and AIX
Technology Levels.
AIX Level Interim Fix (*.Z)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
5.3.12.5 IV22019.120604.epkg.Z
6.1.6.7 IV21379.120613.epkg.Z
6.1.7.4 IV21381.120613.epkg.Z
7.1.0.5 IV21382.120613.epkg.Z
7.1.1.4 IV21383.120613.epkg.Z
VIOS Level Interim Fix (*.Z)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2.2.1.4-FP-25 SP-02 VIOS.120619.epkg.Z
To extract the fixes from the tar file:
tar xvf libodm_fix.tar
cd libodm_fix
Verify you have retrieved the fixes intact:
The checksums below were generated using the
"csum -h SHA1" (sha1sum) command is the followng:
csum -h SHA1 (sha1sum) filename

To verify the sum, use the text of this advisory as input to sha1sum.
For example:
csum -h SHA1 -i Advisory.asc
sha1sum -c Advisory.asc
These sums should match exactly. The PGP signatures in the tar
file and on this advisory can also be used to verify the
integrity of the fixes. If the sums or signatures cannot be
confirmed, contact IBM AIX Security at
security-alert@austin.ibm.com and describe the discrepancy.
C. FIX AND INTERIM FIX INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: If possible, it is recommended that a mksysb backup
of the system be created. Verify it is both bootable and
readable before proceeding.
To preview a fix installation:
installp -a -d fix_name -p all # where fix_name is the name of the
# fix package being previewed.
To install a fix package:
installp -a -d fix_name -X all # where fix_name is the name of the
# fix package being installed.
Interim fixes have had limited functional and regression
testing but not the full regression testing that takes place
for Service Packs; thus, IBM does not warrant the fully
correct functionality of an interim fix.
Interim fix management documentation can be found at:
http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/aix.efixmgmt/home.html
To preview an interim fix installation:
emgr -e ipkg_name -p # where ipkg_name is the name of the
# interim fix package being previewed.
To install an interim fix package:
emgr -e ipkg_name -X # where ipkg_name is the name of the
# interim fix package being installed.
V. WORKAROUNDS
