Local HP-UX users must intentionally modify certain CIFS/9000
Server resources in order to affect the damage (i.e., technically
proficient and malicious). Problem only occurs during printing
operations; thus, CIFS/9000 Servers used only as file servers are
not vulnerable.

-->>>HP-UX release 11.00 or 11.11.
