 A. Background

 **REVISED 11**
 --> 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.

 --> 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

 **REVISED 11**

 --> 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.
