    SSRT3526 rev.0 Serviceguard potential increase in privilege

    NOTICE:
    There are no restrictions for distribution of this Bulletin
    provided that it remains complete and intact.

    The information in this Security bulletin should be acted upon
    as soon as possible.

    INITIAL RELEASE:
    21 October 2004

    POTENTIAL SECURITY IMPACT:
    Increase in privilege.

    VULNERABILITY SUMMARY:
    A potential security vulnerability has been identified with HP
    Serviceguard running on HP-UX and Linux that may allow
    remote unauthorized privileges.

    SUPPORTED SOFTWARE VERSIONS*: ONLY impacted versions are listed.
    HP-UX
    HP Serviceguard A.11.13, A.11.14, A.11.15.00,
                                                A.11.16.00
    HP Cluster Object Manager A.01.03, B.01.04, B.02.02.00,
                                              B.03.00.00, B.03.00.01

    Linux
    HP Serviceguard for Linux A.11.14.04, A.11.15.04
    HP Cluster Object Manager B.02.01.02, B.02.02.02

    BACKGROUND:
    Serviceguard was designed to operate within a single security
    domain. This includes the following requirements:

    1. The root user on any node inside the trusted network must be
    trusted by all nodes. Users with appropriate privileges on any
    node inside the trusted network must be trusted by all nodes.
    This includes the root user on any Unix computer and any
    valid user on a Windows computer.
    2. The network must be physically defended against any spoof or
    sniff attacks.
    3. The network firewalls must be correctly configured to defend
    against external attacks.

    A defect was discovered which allows non-root users on the
    subnet to obtain elevated privileges. The available patches,
    together with their special installation instructions, fix that
    defect.
    Any system on which Serviceguard has been installed (all
    configurations using SGeRAC, SGeSAP, Continentalcluster, and
    Metrocluster) should be patched, including those which are
    not configured in a cluster.

    For more information, a white paper entitled "Securing
    Serviceguard" has been written and posted at
    http://docs.hp.com/hpux/ha

    Note: In the listings below on Linux versions, IA32 and
    IA64 represent the 32 and 64 bit Intel Architecture CPU's,
    while PA represents the Precision Architecure from HP.

    The Linux files are packaged as a tar'ed shar'ed RPM.
    Download, unshar and extract the tar package, then run
    "sgupdate" to install the new version.

    AFFECTED VERSIONS

    Note: 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 the recommended
    patch or update is installed.

    The HP-UX Security Patch Matrix, updated daily, categorizes
    security patches by platform/OS release, and by Bulletin topic.
    The Security Patch Check tool completely automates the process of
    reviewing the Security Patch Matrix for HP-UX 11.XX Versions.

    NOTE: Installing patches listed in the Security Patch Matrix will
    completely implement the RESOLUTION in the Security Bulletin
    _only_ if there are no MANUAL ACTIONS included.

    The Security Patch Check tool can also verify that a Security
    Bulletin RESOLUTION has been implemented on HP-UX 11.XX Versions
    provided that no MANUAL ACTIONS were included. The Security Patch
    Check tool cannot verify patches implemented via product upgrade.
