CHANGE SUMMARY: Rev.01 - Patches are available for Solaris and

Rev.02 - Preliminary fix available for OVPM,
OVOW, ITO5.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A. Background
The worm referred to as "Blaster" or "W32.Blaster.worm", may
impact hp OpenView products running on Microsoft Windows,
HP-UX, Solaris and Linux.
More information about the worm can be found at:
<http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/blast.asp>
It is important that you follow the instructions from
Microsoft and apply appropriate patches to all servers
running Microsoft Windows.
As the worm attempts to find new systems to infect it can
cause DCE to fail. The HP-UX, Solaris, and Linux systems
running DCE are not infected by the worm. DCE is impacted as
as side effect of the network traffic generated by the worm.
The impact is that critical DCE daemons can abort. These
daemons and the OpenView software which depends on them
would need to be restarted manually.
This problem has been reported by CERT/cc:
<http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/377804>
CERT/cc reports that the vulnerability can be
triggered by attempts to exploit Microsoft RPC
vulnerabilities:
<http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/568148>
<http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/326746>
AFFECTED VERSIONS
The following is a list by HP-UX revision of
affected filesets or patches and fix information.
To determine if a system has an affected version,
search the output of "swlist -a revision -l fileset"
for an affected fileset or patch, then determine if
a fixed revision or applicable patch is installed.

and by bulletin topic. Security Patch Check completely
automates the process of reviewing the patch matrix for
11.XX systems. Please note that installing the patches
listed in the Security Patch Matrix will completely
implement a security bulletin _only_ if the MANUAL ACTIONS
field specifies "No."
The Security Patch Check tool can verify that a security
bulletin has been implemented on HP-UX 11.XX systems providing
that the fix is completely implemented in a patch with no
manual actions required. The Security Patch Check tool cannot
verify fixes implemented via a product upgrade.
