RESOLUTION
Early Release Patches (ERPs) are now available for all supported
versions of HP Tru64 UNIX/TruCluster Server that provide a solution
to this potential vulnerability. The ERP kits use dupatch to install

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.
