      of the patch numbers above will direct you to the latest
      superseding patch.

**REV 01**
 ------>> Although versions of NNM prior to NNM 6.1 are not
 ------>> vulnerable in their default configuration, it is possible
 ------>> to modify the default configuration so as to make those
 ------>> versions vulnerable.  Therefore, we recommend that all
 ------>> customers update to NNM 6.2 or install the appropriate
 ------>> patches for NNM 6.1.
 ------>>
 ------>> The patches listed above have been superseeded.  If you
 ------>> have NNM 6.1 and have installed one of the patches listed
 ------>> above, no further action is required.  The patches listed
 ------>> above are no longer available.  These are the latest patches
 ------>> that solve the security problem in NNM 6.1:
 ------>>

 ------>>
 ------>> Note: one way to determine whether NNM is installed on
 ------>> your system is to run the following command:
 ------>>
 ------>>    swlist | grep "Network Node Manager"
