COMMAND

    TCP and UDP ports

SYSTEMS AFFECTED

    HP9000 Series 700/800s running:
      HP-UX 10.09.01 with VirtualVault A.01.00,
      HP-UX 10.16 with VirtualVault A.01.01,
      HP-UX 10.24 (VVOS) with VirtualVault A.02.00

PROBLEM

    There are  well-known ports  that the  xdm, dtlogin  and X servers
    listen  on.   External  programs  can  connect  to these ports and
    could gain unauthorized access  to services  using  potential bugs
    in these servers.

SOLUTION

    Hewlett-Packard recommends that  the following patches  be applied
    as appropriate:

      HP-UX 10.09.01 with VirtualVault A.01.00:
            PHCO_10387 and PHSS_10786
      HP-UX 10.16 with VirtualVault A.01.01:
            PHCO_10387 and PHSS_10786
      HP-UX 10.24 (VVOS) with VirtualVault A.02.00:
            PHNE_11096 (Series 700) and PHSS_10613
            PHNE_11097 (Series 800) and PHSS_10613

    NOTE: These   problems  only   apply  to   systems  running    the
          VirtualVault Transaction Server.
