    SSRT4702 rev.0 - HP-UX running Veritas 3.3/3.5 unauthorized
                     data access

    NOTICE:
    The information in this Security Bulletin should be acted upon
    as soon as possible.

    INITIAL RELEASE:
    24 August 2005

    POTENTIAL SECURITY IMPACT:
     Local unauthorized access to data by an authorized user.

    SOURCE:
    Hewlett-Packard Company
    HP Software Security Response Team

    VULNERABILITY SUMMARY:
    A potential vulnerability has been identified in HP-UX running the
    Veritas File System (VxFS) that may allow a local authorized user
    access to unauthorized data.

    REFERENCES:
    None

    SUPPORTED SOFTWARE VERSIONS*: ONLY impacted versions are listed.
    HP-UX B.11.00 running VxFS 3.3
    HP-UX B.11.11 running VxFS 3.3
    HP-UX B.11.11 running VxFS 3.5
    HP-UX B.11.23 running VxFS 3.5

    BACKGROUND:

    Note: If an upgrade from HP-UX 11.11 VxFS 3.3 to VxFS 3.5 is
    planned please be aware of the following:
    Upgrading HP-UX B.11.11 from VxFS 3.3 to VxFS 3.5 will leave
    VxFS 3.3 on the system but inactive. Since VxFS 3.3 could be
    reactivated it is important to patch VxFS 3.3 before upgrading
    to VxFs 3.5. Otherwise reactivating VxFS 3.3 would reintroduce
    the potential vulnerability.

      AFFECTED VERSIONS

        Note: To determine if a system has an affected version,
                 search the output of "swlist -a revision -l fileset"

                 recommended patch or update is installed.
