-----------------------------------------------------------------
NOTICE: There are no restrictions for distribution of this
Bulletin provided that it remains complete and intact.
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: Remote unauthorized users may potentially access
privileged data.
IMPACT: Unauthorized access.
PLATFORM: HP3000 running MPE/iX 5.5, 6.X or 7.X.
SOLUTION: Install the following fixes on supported MPE/iX
releases:
FTPGDY7 for 6.5,
FTPGDY8 for 7.0,
FTPGDY9 for 7.5.
MANUAL ACTIONS: Yes - NonHPUX only.
See below.
AVAILABILITY: All beta-test patches are available now on
itrc.hp.com.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A. Background
Hewlett-Packard has discovered that changes made in the 1996
FTP Enhancement allow incorrect file operations.
NOTE: This problem does not impact HP NonStop Servers, nor
HP OpenVMS, nor HP Tru64 UNIX/Trucluster Server.
B. Recommended solution
Download and install the following fixes on the appropriate
HP3000 systems:
FTPGDY7 for 6.5,
FTPGDY8 for 7.0,
FTPGDY9 for 7.5.
On older non-supported releases, the following workarounds
may be used.
a) In the file inetdcnf.net, remove (comment out) the ftp
entry. This disables ftp access.
b) Discontinue using FTP/iX (remember to terminate JINETD job)
c) Install a newer supported Operating System software version
and then apply the appropriate FTP patch.
