Special Notes - Please Read
To obtain the corrections for the following affected version, please
reference the updated Security Bulletin (SRB) for the SSRT2275
Potential Buffer Overflows Vulnerability which issues a 5.1 PK6(BL20)
patchkit containing the corrections listed in this EA. See Security
Bulletin SSRT2275 for details.
HP Tru64 UNIX 5.1 PK6 (BL20)
For the versions listed below, the corrections provided in this
advisory DO intersect with previous Early Release Patch Kit (ERP)
corrections provided for the SSRT2275- Potential Buffer Overflows
Vulnerability.
Please note that ONLY the intersecting files that affect libc have
been merged with the previous SSRT2275- Potential Buffer
Overflows Vulnerability patch kits for these versions as indicated.
HP Tru64 UNIX 5.0A PK3 (BL17)
HP Tru64 UNIX 4.0F PK7 (BL18)
HP Tru64 UNIX 4.0G PK3 (BL17)
These patches can be installed on top of the SSRT2275- Potential
Buffer Overflows Vulnerability patchkit or standalone. However, in
order to get the complete set of fixes included in the SSRT2275 -
Potential Buffer Overflows Vulnerability , the appropriate SSRT2275
Potential Buffer Overflows Vulnerability patch kit must be installed
before installing this patch kit.
Please refer to the following web site for more details regarding
the SSRT2275 Potential Buffer Overflows Vulnerability:
http://h30097.www3.hp.com/unix/security-download.html
For the following versions, the corrections provided in SSRT2275
and SSRT2322 are included in the aggregate patch BL kits.
Therefore, the patch kits listed in this Security Bulletin DO NOT
have file intersections with other available Early Release Patch
(ERP) kits.
HP Tru64 UNIX 5.1B PK1 (BL1)
HP Tru64 UNIX 5.1A PK4 (BL21)
Please review the README file for each patch prior to installation.
Early Release Patch Kits
Early Release Patches (ERPs) are now available for all supported
versions of HP Tru64 UNIX. 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.
Important Post-Installation Information
These patches deliver updated static libraries. Customers who have
applications that build against the affected static libraries should
relink those applications post-ERP installation. The following static
libraries are updated if the applicable static library subsets are
installed on the system being patched:

SHA1 checksums at:
http://www.support.compaq.com/patches/whats-new.shtml
After completing the update, HP and Compaq strongly recommend
that you perform an immediate backup of the system disk so that any
subsequent restore operationsbegin with updated software. Otherwise,
the updates must be re-applied after a future restore operation.
Also, if at some future time the system is upgraded to a later patch
release or version release, reinstall the appropriate ERP.
