-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HP SECURITY BULLETIN HPSBTU01051 REVISION: 0 SSRT4741 rev.0 DCE for HP Tru64 UNIX Potential RPC Buffer Overrun Attack -------------------------------------------------------------- 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 June 2004 POTENTIAL SECURITY IMPACT: Buffer overflow denial of service (DoS) SOURCE: HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY HP Software Security Response Team REFERENCES: VU#259796, VU#568148, VU#326746, VU#377804 VULNERABILITY SUMMARY: A problem has been detected where an exploit program sends invalid packet data which causes a buffer overflow in DCE servers and could create a denial of service. SUPPORTED SOFTWARE VERSIONS*: ONLY impacted versions are listed. All versions of DCE/DFS for Tru64 UNIX are vulnerable v4.1.4 (ifspec), v4.1.5, v4.2 and v4.3 BACKGROUND: A problem has been detected where an exploit program sends invalid packet data which causes a buffer overflow in DCE servers. After numerous attacks, the server will not respond to normal DCE requests. This buffer overflow may also affect DCE clients: If DCE clients have any open associations to a server, the overrun attack could hit that association and also cause it to overflow. As of December 31, 2003, remedial support for DCE has been transferred to Entegrity Solutions for all HP Tru64 DCE/DFS products. See the Entegrity Solutions support http://support.entegrity.com for details.
