Vulnerability in TurboIMAGE DBUTIL ------------------------------------------------------------------------- HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY SECURITY ADVISORY: #0007, 26 June 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in the following Security Advisory should be acted upon as soon as possible. Hewlett-Packard Company will not be liable for any consequences to any customer resulting from customer's failure to fully implement instructions in this Security Advisory as soon as possible. ----------------------------------------------------------------- PROBLEM: Given a specific setup, users with ordinary database privileges can gain additional privileges. PLATFORM: HP3000 running MPE/iX release 4.5 and newer. DAMAGE: Unauthorized access. TEMPORARY SOLUTION: Secure DBUTIL.PUB.SYS and your database schemas with a lockword. AVAILABILITY: This advisory will be updated when patches are available. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- A. Background Hewlett-Packard Company has learned of a procedure by which a user can gain additional privileges using DBUTIL.PUB.SYS. B. Recommended solution Until the patch is available, the recommended solution is to secure DBUTIL program and your database schemas with a lockword. For example, in CI prompt :RENAME DBUTIL.PUB.SYS, DBUTIL/LOCK.PUB.SYS /<lockword> A temporary fix in the DBUTIL program is also available for download on the JAZZ web server at: http://jazz.external.hp.com/src/ It is under the DBUTIL.PUB.SYS program. NOTE: For more information on versions, download please read the security notice in the link http://jazz.external.hp.com/src/misc/dbutilsec.txt Download DBUTIL06 for TurboIMAGE version C.06.xx, DBUTIL07 for TurboIMAGE version C.07.xx, and DBUTIL08 for TurboIMAGE version C.08.xx. Also available for download is the corresponding program to replace the DBUTIL.PUB.SYS on your system. You will need to save the your system's old DBUTIL program and later on swap it back when you install TurboIMAGE patch, to avoid PATCH/iX from complaining about the checksum mismatch. C.
