SUPPORTED SOFTWARE VERSIONS*: ONLY impacted versions are listed.
HP-UX B.11.11, B.11.22, B.11.23.
BACKGROUND
To determine if an HP-UX system has an affected version,
search the output of "swlist -a revision -l fileset"
for one of the filesets listed below. For affected systems
verify that the recommended action has been taken.
AFFECTED VERSIONS

END AFFECTED VERSIONS
Certain network traffic can result in a Denial of Service (DoS) for HP-UX
systems running TCP/IP (IPv4). Receiving a certain packet on any open TCP/IP
connection can result in a Denial of Service (DoS) condition which can only be
corrected by a reboot of the affected system. The Denial of Service (DoS) is
characterized by high cpu utilization and a lack of response on any I/O port
including the system console.
Previous revisions of this Security Bulletin recommended setting
ip_pmtu_strategy to 0 or 3 as a workaround. Patches or updates to resolve the
issue are now available. After these patches or updates are installed the
workaround will no longer be necessary or recommended.
- ->The ip_pmtu_strategy parameter should be restored to the default value of 1.
- ->Note: Previous versions of this Security Bulletin incorrectly stated that
the default value of ip_pmtu_strategy is 2.
