BACKGROUND:
-> For versions of Ignite-UX prior to B.2.4.307 on HP-UX B.11.00
-> and B.11.11 the /etc/passwd file is not preserved in the
-> image. This results in a potential vulnerability for trusted
-> systems only.
-> AFFECTED VERSIONS
Note: To determine if a system has an affected version,
search the output of "swlist -a revision -l fileset"
for an affected fileset. Then determine if the
recommended patch or update is installed.
-> HP-UX B.11.11
-> HP-UX B.11.00
=============
-> Ignite-UX.MGMT-TOOLS
-> action: install revision B.2.4.307 or subsequent and check
-> /etc/passwd on trusted systems ignited from old images
-> END AFFECTED VERSIONS
**REVISED 02**
RESOLUTION:
-> Install Ignite-UX version B.2.4.307 or subsequent for HP-UX
-> B.11.00 and B.11.11. All trusted systems which were ignited
-> with images created with previous versions of Ignite-UX on
-> B.11.11 and B.11.00 must be examined and modified manually.
-> The password field for each account in /etc/passwd must be
-> "*".
-> Alternatively, the issue can be resolved by reigniting all
-> trusted B.11.11 and B.11.00 systems with an image made using
-> Ignite-UX version B.2.4.307 or subsequent.
