Introduction

The Compaq Management Agents and Tools for Servers for SCO UnixWare 7 NonStop Clusters software release contains Compaq Agent programs and related files for NonStop Clusters for SCO UnixWare 7. This release supports UnixWare 7.1.1 with SCO UnixWare 7 NonStop Clusters version 7.1.1+IP.

This version of Agents supersedes 4.90 Compaq Agents - NonStop Clusters for UnixWare 7.

This update fixes a potential security vulnerability in Compaq web-enabled management software. Compaq strongly recommends that you update your software as soon as possible. Compaq management software running any Web Based Enterprise Management Agent or Utility that resides on port 2301 can act as generic proxy server. Internal traffic going out to the Internet can bypass a normal proxy server filtering by using TCP/IP port 2301 and external traffic may be able to infiltrate internal networks if there is no additional firewall protection
