END AFFECTED VERSIONS

Note: The HP CIFS Server versions do not map directly to
original Samba versions. The what(1) output will show
the HP version string, for example: A.01.11.02. Samba
commands such as "smbd -V" or "smbstatus" will report the
underlying base Samba version, for example: 2.2.10.

Note: The HP CIFS Server versions A.01.11.02 and previous are
not affected by the vulnerability reported in CAN-2004-0600.

->HP has made updates available from software.hp.com.
->CIFS Server 2.2j version A.01.11.02 eliminates the
->potential vulnerability.

->For HP-UX B.11.22 the potential vulnerability can be
avoided by setting "mangling method = hash2" or
"mangled names = no" in smb.conf.

Note: CIFS Server installations requiring the hash mangling
method must evaluate the impact of converting to the
hash2 mangling method.

MANUAL ACTIONS: Yes - Update plus other actions
->For HP-UX B.11.00, B.11.11, and B.11.23:
