B. FIXES
Fixes are available. The fixes can be downloaded via ftp
from:
ftp://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/bind9_fix4.tar
The link above is to a tar file containing this signed
advisory, fix packages, and PGP signatures for each package.
The fixes below include prerequisite checking. This will
enforce the correct mapping between the fixes and AIX
Technology Levels.
AIX Level Interim Fix (*.Z)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
5.3.12.6 IV22625m05.120713.epkg.Z
6.1.6.8 IV22554m07.120713.epkg.Z
6.1.7.4 IV22555m04.120713.epkg.Z
7.1.0.6 IV22556m05.120711.epkg.Z
7.1.1.4 IV22557m04.120713.epkg.Z
VIOS Level Interim Fix (*.Z)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2.2.1.4-FP-25 SP-02 IV22555m04.120713.epkg.Z
To extract the fixes from the tar file:
tar xvf bind9_fix4.tar
cd bind9_fix4
Verify you have retrieved the fixes intact:
The checksums below were generated using the
"csum -h SHA1" (sha1sum) command is the followng:
csum -h SHA1 (sha1sum) filename
------------------------------------------------------------------
00ca9d1246cc1539d4fbfb7500f6318d471d4c83 IV22625m06.120713.epkg.Z
cc1e07a12b40c0b3eb47cf4913769d8f026ca2fe IV22554m07.120713.epkg.Z
c663fb1885dbe8efb4a6ccef93d4729f0dd27cb8 IV22555m04.120713.epkg.Z
4dd1fb14f39f5fe1be1eecf35af6556b2b3ea560 IV22556m05.120711.epkg.Z
2d7145be2ffdc0254d5ee16e9e45fd9aa3af9681 IV22557m04.120713.epkg.Z
To verify the sum, use the text of this advisory as input to sha1sum.
For example:
csum -h SHA1 -i Advisory.asc
sha1sum -c Advisory.asc
These sums should match exactly. The PGP signatures in the tar
file and on this advisory can also be used to verify the
integrity of the fixes. If the sums or signatures cannot be
confirmed, contact IBM AIX Security at
security-alert@austin.ibm.com and describe the discrepancy.
C. FIX AND INTERIM FIX INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: If possible, it is recommended that a mksysb backup
of the system be created. Verify it is both bootable and
readable before proceeding.
To preview a fix installation:
installp -a -d fix_name -p all # where fix_name is the name of the
# fix package being previewed.
To install a fix package:
installp -a -d fix_name -X all # where fix_name is the name of the
# fix package being installed.
Interim fixes have had limited functional and regression
testing but not the full regression testing that takes place
for Service Packs; however, IBM does fully support them.
Interim fix management documentation can be found at:
http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/aix.efixmgmt/home.html
To preview an interim fix installation:
emgr -e ipkg_name -p # where ipkg_name is the name of the
# interim fix package being previewed.
To install an interim fix package:
emgr -e ipkg_name -X # where ipkg_name is the name of the
# interim fix package being installed.
V. WORKAROUNDS
None
