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
