A. Background
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has
identified potential vulnerabilities in the buffer management
code of OpenSSH versions prior to 3.7.1. These
vulnerabilities lead to heap corruption, which could cause
a denial-of-service condition. These vulnerabilities affect
the following HP products:
HP-UX 11.04, Virtualvault 4.6, running OpenSSH 3.0.2p1
(Ref. CERT Vulnerability Note VU#333628 and VU#408419)
http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/333628)
OpenSSH contains buffer management errors
More details are available at:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0693
http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/408419
OpenSSH contains an one-off array overflow in channel
handling code

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.
HP-UX B.11.04
=============
VaultTS.VV-OPENSSH
fix: install PHSS_29886 or subsequent.
END AFFECTED VERSIONS
NOTE: This problem does not impact HP NonStop Servers.
Applying this patch, HP-UX B.11.04 updates ssh
to OpenSSH 3.6.1p2. Even though this patch does not
update to OpenSSH 3.7.1 it nevertheless addresses
the security issues mentioned above.
