VULNERABILITY SUMMARY

BACKGROUND
RESOLUTION
HP is providing the following workaround for this issue until such
time as another resolution is available. At that time this
Security Bulletin will be re-released with the latest information.
This workaround involves manually editing the ".namazurc" file in
the HP SMH installation as described below:
This requires a single line modification to the resource file. The
affected file is located in the "installdir\data\help\web_cgi"
directory and is called ".namazurc".
NOTE:<installdir> is the base directory where HP SMH is installed.
A typical default installation would be "C:\hp\hpsmh? for
<installdir>
First, copy the ".namazurc" file to a backup location. If there
are problems during the editing process, the original file can be
restored.
Next, edit the ".namazurc" file. Search for #Lang in the file to
find the following text:
#Lang ja
Depending on the language and version of HP SMH installed, use the
appropriate method below to edit the file:
* If the HP SMH installation is an English language installation,
change the line to:
Lang en
* If the HP SMH installation is a Japanese language installation
AND
the version of HP SMH is 2.0.0 through 2.1.3,
change the line to:
Lang ja
* If the HP SMH installation is a Japanese language installation
AND
the version of HP SMH is 2.1.4,
change the line to:
Lang ja_JP.SJIS
NOTE: The "#" at the beginning of the text must be removed.
To complete the change, save the edited ".namazurc" file and
restart HP SMH.
