AVAILABILITY: The patches are available now. CHANGE SUMMARY: Added VVOS patch for HP-UX release 11.04. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. A. Background Starting with HP-UX release 11.00, Hewlett-Packard has made available the ported wu-ftp code. There are buffer overruns in the wu-ftpd plus corrections to other client functionality as mentioned in AUSCERT AA-1999.02 Advisory, dated 19 October 1999. See www.auscert.org.au. HP-UX release 10.20 supports only our legacy ftp and is not affected. Release 11.00 is, however, vulnerable and needs this patch. Our patch addresses the vulnerabilities that have been fixed in the 2.6.0 release of wu-ftpd which has been made available by the WU-FTPD Development Group. ** REVISED 01 ** B. Fixing the problem - For HP-UX release 11.00, install patch PHNE_18377; ->>>> for HP-UX release 11.04, install patch PHNE_20681. C.
