          Title:  Security Vulnerability with rpc.pcnfsd
    
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
        HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY SECURITY BULLETIN: #00091, 08 Febraury 1999
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    The information in the following Security Bulletin should be acted upon
    as soon as possible.  Hewlett-Packard Company 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:  rpc.pcnfsd has an error in its use of the spool directory
    
    PLATFORM: HP 9000 series 700/800.
    
    DAMAGE:   Remote and local users can compromise root access.
    
    SOLUTION: Install _all_ applicable patches listed below.  Reboot required.
    
    AVAILABILITY:  All patches are available now.
    
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I.
       A. Background
          rpc.pcnfsd is a remote procedure call used by NFS clients which is
          a service providing username and password authentication for system
          which have NFS client software installed.
          If exploited, this defect allows the main printer spool directory
          used by rpc.pcnfsd to be made world writeable.
    
       B. Fixing the problem
          This involves installing a series of patches which require
          rebooting the system.  The main patch requires a libc patch,
          which in turn requires a kernal patch.
    
            For HP-UX 10.01:                        PHNE_17248
            For HP-UX 10.10:                        PHNE_17248
            For HP-UX 10.20:                        PHNE_17098
            For HP-UX 11.00:                        PHNE_16470
    
          The following sets of patches will need to be installed to resolve
          all the documented patch dependencies.  The dependencies will be
          satisfied by the patches listed, or any patch that supersedes them:
    
            s700 10.01:     PHNE_17248, PHKL_7059,  PHCO_14253;

                            PHCO_13777, PHCO_12922, PHCO_17389,
                            PHNE_17097, PHKL_16957, PHKL_17013,
                            PHKL_17254, PHKL_12008;
            s700 11.00:     PHNE_16470, PHCO_16629, PHKL_15689,
