TITLE: Tru64 UNIX Potential Security Vulnerability,
      Privileged App. Core Files and Temp File/Symbolic
      Links With Temp Files (SSRT1-41U, SSRT0742U, SSRT0759U)

NOTICE: There are no restrictions for distribution of
       this advisory provided that it remains complete and intact.

RELEASE DATE: 28 JANUARY 2002

SOURCE: Compaq Computer Corporation
       Compaq Services
       Software Security Response Team

CROSS REFERENCE: (CVE CAN-2000-1134, CERT/CC VU#10277)

PROBLEM SUMMARY:

(1). (SSRT1-41U) It has been reported to Compaq that
Tru64 UNIX has a potential security vulnerability with
it's utilization of temporary files in the shell programs
and system startup or management scripts.

Because the potential security vulnerability can only be
exploited by users who have access to your local security
domain, the risk is diminished.   Many systems operate in
a "turn key" mode where login access exists only for system
administration. These systems are not at risk.
Examples of these systems are file servers and web servers.

There are things that can be done to reduce the potential
vulnerability and exposure. A set of Compaq guidelines are
available from the Compaq Services web page at:

http://www.support.compaq.com/sec/system-protections-tru64.html

(2). (SSRT0742U, SSRT0759U) A potential security vulnerability
has been reported, where under certain circumstances, system
integrity may be compromised. This may be in the form of
improper privileged application core file access.


VERSIONS IMPACTED:

All supported versions as well as recent prior versions.
The affected versions include but are not limited to Tru64 UNIX
versions V5.1a, V5.1, V5.0a, V5.0, V4.0g, V4.0f and V4.0d.

RESOLUTION:

Early Release Patches (ERPs) are available for all supported
versions of Tru64 UNIX Tru64 UNIX 4.0F, 4.0G, 5.0A, 5.1 and 5.1A
and as a courtesy, for V4.0D and V4.0F as support for these two have
just recently ended.


To obtain a the patch or patches needed, connect to the
FTP site ftp://ftp.support.compaq.com/public/unix/
choose the version directory required and download the
appropriate patch.

restore operation. Also, if at some future time you upgrade your
system to a later patch version, you may need to reapply the
appropriate update.
