 A. Background

     CERT advisory CA-2002-19, CERT VU#738331, CERT VU#852283, and
     CERT VU#229595 report vulnerabilities which may affect
     products on HP-UX and VVOS.

    Note: These fixes should be applied to all systems using
          DNS, including those systems with client programs only.

     Notes on Bind Versions (B.11.00 and B.11.11)
     =============================================

     Bind is available on B.11.00 and B.11.11 as part of
     the base operating system and as a web upgrade.
     Both versions (base os and web upgrade) may be
     installed on a system simultaneously.  Only one
     version can be active.  The active version can
     be changed via a script.

     The base os versions are updated via patches.  The
     web upgrade versions are updated by installing a
     later web upgrade.  The web upgrade versions are
     not patched.

     If a web upgrade version is active it is not possible
     to patch the base os version.  It is necessary to
     switch to the base os version with the following
     command before applying the patch:

       /usr/bin/enable_inet -r bind

     If you are running a web upgrade version and do not
     intend to re-enable the base os version, it is not
     necessary to patch the base os version.  However,
     since the base os version can be re-enabled with
     the script, you may want to patch the base os version
     even though it is not active.  Similarly, if you have
     installed a web upgrade version and have switched
     back to the base os version, you may want to update
     to the latest web upgrade version or use swremove(1)
     to remove the web upgrade version entirely.

     Identifying the Active Version (B.11.00/B.11.11)
     ================================================

     Execute the following command:

        what /usr/sbin/named | grep named

     The bind version will be on the named line.
     For example:

         named 9.2.0 Thu Jul 18 11:58:39 GMT 2002


     Identifying the Web Upgrade Version (B.11.00/B.11.11)
     =====================================================

     If the file /usr/contrib/bind/usr/sbin/named exists,
     execute the following:

        what /usr/contrib/bind/usr/sbin/named | grep named

     The bind version will be on the named line.

     AFFECTED VERSIONS

     The following is a list by HP-UX revision of
     affected filesets and the fileset revision or
     patch containing the fix.  To determine if a
     system has an affected version, search the
     output of "swlist -a revision -l fileset"
     for an affected fileset, then determine if
     a fixed revision or the applicable patch is
     installed.

     END AFFECTED VERSIONS

     Note:  The Security Patch Check tool examines patches to
            determine whether a system is vulnerable.  Therefore,
            if the base o/s version of bind is not patched
            as described in this bulletin, the Security Patch
            Check tool will report that fact even if the
            web upgrade version is active.  The Security
            Patch Check tool will not examine the web upgrade
            versions of bind.

 B. Recommended solution

     CAUTION: If you have installed a web upgrade, the Base OS
              version remains on the system.  This command:
                 "/usr/bin/enable_inet -r bind"
              restores the Base OS version.  The Base OS version
              cannot be patched while the web upgrade version is
              enabled.  After reverting to the Base OS version
              you should verify that it is properly patched as
              described below.

     The following preliminary fixes are available:

     Note: On 10.10 and 10.20 the DNS API is contained in libc.
           Programs which make DNS calls and are linked with
           libc.a must be relinked.
           Programs which are linked with ".a" libraries
            are statically linked.
           Statically linked programs may be tested as follows:

      strings -a suspect_program | grep "Too many addresses (%d)"

           If the program contains the string it may make
           DNS API calls and should be relinked with the
           fixed version of libc.a.

    Download libc.1.1010 and libc.a.1010 from the ftp
    site mentioned above.

     MD5 (libc.1.1010) = 87be3ba33250be16ad39345ed38f9875

     cksum 4179986886 2280612 libc.a.1010

     Install on B.10.10 as follows:


           1. Go to init state 2.  Copy libc.1.1010 and
              libc.a.1010 to a secure directory such as /.

           2. cd /usr/lib
              /usr/sbin/cp libc.1 libc.1.orig
              /usr/sbin/cp /libc.1.1010 libc.1
              /usr/sbin/cp libc.a libc.a.orig
              /usr/sbin/cp /libc.a.1010 libc.a

           3. Reboot the system.
