Bulletin provided that it remains complete and

RELEASE DATE: October 2003
SOURCE: HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY
Software Security Response Team
REFERENCE: SSRT2405 (VU#860296)
PROBLEM SUMMARY
A potential security vulnerability has been reported
in the HP Tru64 UNIX CDE code that could result in
local or remote unauthorized privileged access.
VERSIONS IMPACTED
HP Tru64 UNIX 4.0G PK4 (BL22)
HP Tru64 UNIX 4.0F PK8 (BL22)
RESOLUTION
Early Release Patches (ERPs) are now available for HP Tru64
UNIX V4.0G and V4.0F. The ERP kits use dupatch to install and
will not install over any Customer Specific Patches (CSPs) which
have file intersections with the ERPs. Contact your normal
support channel and request HP Tru64 services elevate a case to
Support Engineering if a CSP must be merged with one of the ERPs.
Please review the README file for each patch prior to
installation.

operation. Also, if at some future time the system is upgraded to
a later patch release or version release, reinstall the
appropriate
