    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
          HEWLETT-PACKARD SECURITY BULLETIN: (MPE/iX) #0005, 30 July 1998
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    The information in the following Security Bulletin should be acted upon
    as soon as possible.  Hewlett Packard will not be liable for any
    consequences to any customer resulting from customer's failure to fully
    implement instructions in this Security Bulletin as soon as possible.
    
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    PROBLEM:  Fixes a problem with the e-mail or modem traffic to and

              machines.
    
    PLATFORM: All HP3000 Series 900 systems running MPE/iX Release 5.0 and
              MPE/iX Release 5.5.
    
    DAMAGE:   Data transfer may be compromised.
    
    SOLUTION: Apply the appropriate patch noted below.
    
    AVAILABILITY:  All patches are now available.
    
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I.
       A. Background
          Many on-site customer machines are running Predictive.  This issue
          is relevant to those users who send Predictive messages and/or
          receive Predictive messages by modem or by e-mail.
    
       B. Recommended solution
          The system administrator needs to obtain and apply the patches
          mentioned below.
    
       C. Fixing the problem
    
       1. Obtain the patch
          Obtain the appropriate patch from the HP Electronic Support Center,

          Support Center home page.
    
       2. Apply the patch
          MPE/iX patches are unpacked using the UNPACKP script.  UNPACKP
          runs the MOVER utility to unload the truck file for the patch.
          Hyperlinks for the UNPACKP script and the MPE Patch Installation
          Guide are located on the main page for MPE/iX patches on
          HP Electronic Support Center.
    
          You need MOVER version A.00.02, EOF (end-of-file) 635, to unload
          MPE/iX patches.  You can download this version of MOVER from
          the HP3000 Web Server at http://jazz.external.hp.com.  Follow
          the Shareware and Sources & Binaries hyperlinks.
    
    
       D. Solution impact
          All patches will require rebooting the system.
    
           OSPKXA8 (A)  for   MPE iX 5.5
           OSPKXC5 (A)  for   MPE iX 5.0
