Title: Sec. Vulnerability in dtspcd
-----------------------------------------------------------------
HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY SECURITY BULLETIN: #00175, 12 Nov. 2001
-----------------------------------------------------------------
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.
------------------------------------------------------------------
PROBLEM: Buffer overflow in dtspcd
PLATFORM: HP9000 Series 700/800 running HP-UX releases 10.10,
10.20, 10.24, 11.00, 11.04, and 11.11.
DAMAGE: Possible unauthorized access, possible increased privileges.
SOLUTION: Until patches are available, manually install a replacement
dtspcd.
MANUAL ACTIONS: Install replacement dtspcd.
AVAILABILITY: The replacement dtspcd files are available now.
------------------------------------------------------------------
I.
A. Background
A buffer overflow has been reported in dtspcd. It may be
possible to exploit this overflow to gain unauthorized access.
B. Fixing the problem
Until patches are available, install the appropriate file to
replace dtspcd.
C. Recommended solution
1. Download dtspcd.tar.gz from the ftp site.
This file is temporary and will be deleted when patches
are available from the standard HP web sites, including
itrc.hp.com.
ftp site: hprc.external.hp.com (192.170.19.51).
account: dtspcd
password: dtspcd
file: dtspcd.tar.gz
If using a browser:
ftp://dtspcd:[email protected]/dtspcd/
Note: There is an ftp defect in IE5 that may result in
a browser hang. To work around this:
- Select Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced
- Un-check the option: [ ] Enable folder view for FTP sites
2. Copy the dtspcd.tar.gz file to a protected directory
and unpack it.
If you wish to verify the md5 sum before unpacking the
dtspcd.tar.gz file, please refer to:
HPSBUX9408-016
Patch sums and the MD5 program
The md5 sum for dtspcd.tar.gz is:
MD5 (dtspcd.tar.gz) = b122f84857f4da65b50d9926201608a1
3. Install the new dtspcd file using the
install_dtscpd script or some similar procedure.
For example on a 10.20 system:
./install_dtscpd dtspcd.10.20
Note: 10.24 systems should use dtspcd.10.20.
11.04 systems should use dtspcd.11.00.
On 10.24 and 11.04 (VVOS) systems the
install_dtscpd should be run at SYSTEM.
4. Each shar file contains the following README:
====================== Start of README ===============================
Note: These files are temporary and will be deleted from the ftp site
when official patches are available.
The install_dtspcd script may be used to install the
special release versions of dtspcd.

special release dtspcd files and
./install_dtspcd <dtspcd.xx.yy>
