  SSRT2229 /usr/sbin/ping  (Severity - Medium)

         A potential security vulnerability has been
         reported within HP Tru64 UNIX /ur/sbin/ping,
         which could potentially result in denial
         of service (DoS). This may be in the form of
         local security domain risks.


  SSRT2275 HP Tru64 UNIX Buffer Overflows (Severity -
                              see specific list below)

          Potential buffer overflows have been reported
          for HP Tru64 UNIX where, under certain
          circumstances,  a non-privileged user may gain
          unauthorized privileged access. This may be in
          the form of local and remote security domain
          risks.

RESOLUTION

  Early Release Patches (ERPs) are now available for
  all supported versions of HP Tru64 UNIX. The ERP kits
  use dupatch to install and will not  install over any
  Customer-Specific-Patches (CSPs) which have file
  intersections with the ERPs. Contact your normal
  support channel and request HP Tru64 services elevate
  a case to  Support Engineering if a CSP must be merged
  with one of the ERPs. Please review the README file for
  each patch prior to installation.


NOTE: These ERPs supercede ERPs delivered with the release
of SSRT2257 HP Tru64 UNIX /usr/bin/su buffer overflow
