    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: 1. Certain ASN.1 encodings that are rejected as invalid
                by the parser can trigger a bug in the deallocation
                of the corresponding data structure, corrupting the
                stack. This can be used as a denial of service
                attack. It is currently unknown whether this can be
                exploited to run malicious code. This issue does not
                affect OpenSSL 0.9.6.

                More details are available at:
       http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0545

             2. Unusual ASN.1 tag values can cause an out of bounds
                read under certain circumstances, resulting in a
                denial of service vulnerability.
                More details are available at:
       http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0543
       http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0544

             3. A malformed public key in a certificate will crash
                the verify code if it is set to ignore public key
                decoding errors. Exploitation of an affected
                application would result in a denial of service
                vulnerability.

             4. Due to an error in the SSL/TLS protocol handling,
                a server will parse a client certificate when one is
                not specifically requested.

    IMPACT: Potential Denial of Service

    PLATFORM: HP9000 Servers running HP-UX releases B.11.00, B.11.11,
              B.11.22, and B.11.23, only with the BINDv920 installed.

    **REVISED 04**
    SOLUTION: Until a product upgrade is available, download and
              install the appropriate depot from the ftp site
              (see below).

          Bind9.2 for B.11.00 BINDv920 version 003
          Bind9.2 for B.11.11 BINDv920 version 005
          Bind9.2 patch for B.11.22 PHNE_29859.depot
     --> Bind9.2 patch for B.11.23 PHNE_31726 or subsequent

    **REVISED 04**
    MANUAL ACTIONS: Yes - NonUpdate
                    for B.11.00 download web upgrade
                    for B.11.11 download web upgrade
                    for B.11.22 use the temporary depot
     --> for B.11.23 no manual actions required
                    Install the product containing the fix.

    AVAILABILITY: The depots or patch are available now, via ftp
                  (see below).
                  This bulletin will be updated when a product
                  upgrade is available.

    CHANGE SUMMARY: Rev.01 added web upgrade for B.11.11
                     Rev.02 added B.11.23 depot
                     Rev.03 added B.11.11 web upgrade
                     Rev.04 added patch from B.11.23
     -----------------------------------------------------------------
    **REVISED 04**
     A. Background
        An SSL/TLS testing suite developed by the NISCC (National
        Infrastructure Security Co-Ordination Centre in the UK) has
        identified ASN.1 parsing vulnerabilities in OpenSSL.

         AFFECTED VERSIONS

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

         HP-UX B.11.00
         =============
         BINDv920.INETSVCS-BIND
         action: install revision B.11.00.01.003 or subsequent

         HP-UX B.11.11
         =============
         BINDv920.INETSVCS-BIND
         action: install revision B.11.11.01.005 or subsequent

         HP-UX B.11.22
         =============
         InternetSrvcs.INETSVCS2-RUN
         action: install PHNE_29859.depot

         HP-UX B.11.23
         =============
         InternetSrvcs.INETSVCS2-RUN
     --> action: install PHNE_31726 or subsequent

         END AFFECTED VERSIONS

    **REVISED 04**
     B. Recommended solution
        Note: These fixes should be applied to all systems using
        DNS, including those systems with client programs only.

     -->For B.11.23, install PHNE_31726 or subsequent.

     -->Note: It is not necessary to remove the temporary patch,
     --> PHNE_30465, before installing PHNE_31726.

     --> Although both PHNE_30465 and PHNE_31726 resolve the
     --> vulnerability, PHNE_31726 is recommended, even if
     --> PHNE_30465 is installed. PHNE_31726 is a general
     --> release patch and PHNE_30465 is a temporary patch.

        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, instead are simply newer versions.

        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.
        If the version is anything other than 9.2.0, this bulletin
        does not apply to the system being examined.

        Until a product upgrade is available, download and install
        install the appropriate depot from the ftp site.

     -->1a). For B.11.22, download PHNE_29859.depot.gz from
     --> the following ftp site:

            System: hprc.external.hp.com (192.170.19.51)
            Login: bind920
            Password: bind920

            FTP Access: ftp://bind920:bind920@hprc.external.hp.com/
                    or: ftp://bind920:bind920@192.170.19.51/
                    or: ftp hprc.external.hp.com

            Note: There is an ftp defect in IE5 that may result in
                   a browser hang. To work around this:
            - Select Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced
            - Un-check the option:
                      [ ] Enable folder view for FTP sites

          1b). For B.11.11 download BINDv920 version 005 from web
               upgrade at: <http://software.hp.com>

          1c). For B.11.00 download BINDv920 version 003 from web
               upgrade at: <http://software.hp.com>

         ==================================================
     --> 2. For B.11.22, copy PHNE_29859.depot.gz to a
             protected directory and unpack it.

         cksum:
               1640049049 12927378 PHNE_29859.depot.gz

         md5:
             PHNE_29859.depot.gz
                   0B306B5E4353D157F0120B719D8D38D3

     --> 3. For B.11.22, install PHNE_29859.depot using swinstall(1).
