INITIAL RELEASE: 24 August 2005 POTENTIAL SECURITY IMPACT: Local unauthorized access to data by an authorized user. SOURCE: Hewlett-Packard Company HP Software Security Response Team VULNERABILITY SUMMARY: A potential vulnerability has been identified in HP-UX running the Veritas File System (VxFS) that may allow a local authorized user access to unauthorized data. REFERENCES: None SUPPORTED SOFTWARE VERSIONS*: ONLY impacted versions are listed. HP-UX B.11.00 running VxFS 3.3 HP-UX B.11.11 running VxFS 3.3 HP-UX B.11.11 running VxFS 3.5 HP-UX B.11.23 running VxFS 3.5 BACKGROUND: Note: If an upgrade from HP-UX 11.11 VxFS 3.3 to VxFS 3.5 is planned please be aware of the following: Upgrading HP-UX B.11.11 from VxFS 3.3 to VxFS 3.5 will leave VxFS 3.3 on the system but inactive. Since VxFS 3.3 could be reactivated it is important to patch VxFS 3.3 before upgrading to VxFs 3.5. Otherwise reactivating VxFS 3.3 would reintroduce the potential vulnerability. 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.
