RESOLUTION
Until an update is available, HP has made the following procedure available to
resolve the issue.
1. Download the script "get_system_info.wrapper" from the following ftp site:
ftp://ss071442:ss071442@hprc.external.hp.com/
2 .Verify the cksum or md5 sum:
cksum: 3713651406 5189 get_system_info.wrapper
MD5 (get_system_info.wrapper) = 99d725b5b93115ae418ad6ec1b5ab60d
3. As root, copy the script into a secure directory.
4. As root, run the script. The script will display the files it is replacing.
For example:
#$secure_directory/get_system_info_wrapper
Replacing /opt/ignite/lbin/get_system_info with
$secure_directory/get_system_info.wrapper
Replacing /opt/drd/lbin/get_system_info with
$secure_directory/get_system_info.wrapper
where $secure_directory is the path to the secure directory containing the
script.
5. The script must be executed whenever a vulnerable version of the fileset
Ignite-UX.MGMT-TOOLS or the fileset DRD.DRD-RUN is reinstalled.
MANUAL ACTIONS: Yes - NonUpdate
Use script in Resolution section to work around the vulnerability
