NOTICE:
There are no restrictions for distribution of this Bulletin
provided that it remains complete and intact.
The information in this Security bulletin should be acted upon
as soon as possible.
INITIAL RELEASE:
21 October 2004
POTENTIAL SECURITY IMPACT:
Increase in privilege.

VULNERABILITY SUMMARY:
A potential security vulnerability has been identified with HP
Serviceguard running on HP-UX and Linux that may allow
remote unauthorized privileges.
SUPPORTED SOFTWARE VERSIONS*: ONLY impacted versions are listed.
HP-UX
HP Serviceguard A.11.13, A.11.14, A.11.15.00,
A.11.16.00
HP Cluster Object Manager A.01.03, B.01.04, B.02.02.00,
B.03.00.00, B.03.00.01
Linux
HP Serviceguard for Linux A.11.14.04, A.11.15.04
HP Cluster Object Manager B.02.01.02, B.02.02.02
BACKGROUND:
Serviceguard was designed to operate within a single security
domain. This includes the following requirements:
1. The root user on any node inside the trusted network must be
trusted by all nodes. Users with appropriate privileges on any
node inside the trusted network must be trusted by all nodes.
This includes the root user on any Unix computer and any
valid user on a Windows computer.
2. The network must be physically defended against any spoof or
sniff attacks.
3. The network firewalls must be correctly configured to defend
against external attacks.
A defect was discovered which allows non-root users on the
subnet to obtain elevated privileges. The available patches,
together with their special installation instructions, fix that
defect.
Any system on which Serviceguard has been installed (all
configurations using SGeRAC, SGeSAP, Continentalcluster, and
Metrocluster) should be patched, including those which are
not configured in a cluster.
For more information, a white paper entitled "Securing
Serviceguard" has been written and posted at
http://docs.hp.com/hpux/ha
Note: In the listings below on Linux versions, IA32 and
IA64 represent the 32 and 64 bit Intel Architecture CPU's,
while PA represents the Precision Architecure from HP.
The Linux files are packaged as a tar'ed shar'ed RPM.
Download, unshar and extract the tar package, then run
"sgupdate" to install the new version.
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.
