While there is no known risk of compromising Tru64 UNIX system security with SNMP (system instability or unauthorized access), the SNMP agent provided with Tru64 UNIX is susceptible to a limited problem - 4.0G - 5.1A: the SNMP agent may suffer a segmentation fault or generate a core file and exit thus denying SNMP service to SNMP-based network management applications. More information can be found in: - CERT security advisory (CA-2002-03) http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2002-03.html - Compaq Advisory (SSRT0779U) http://ftp.support.compaq.com/patches/.new/security.shtml The Patch Kit Installation Instructions and the Patch Summary and Release Notes documents provide patch kit installation and removal instructions and a summary of each patch.
