privilege management. HP has corrected this potential vulnerability.

A potential security vulnerability has been discovered,
where under certain circumstances, system integrity may be
compromised when a buffer overflow occurs in the uucp
utility.  Buffer overflows are sometimes
exploited in an attempt to subvert the function of a
privileged program and possibly execute commands at the
elevated privileges if the program file has the setuid
privilege.
HP has corrected this potential vulnerability.

This patch fixes a problem in uucp. uucp between two Tru64 UNIX boxes hangs 
when a uucp failure occurs.

This patch provides protection against a class of  potential security
vulnerabilities called buffer overflows. Buffer overflows are sometimes
exploited in an attempt to subvert the function of a privileged program
and possibly execute commands at the elevated privileges if the program
file has the setuid privilege. This patch allows a system administrator
to enable memory management protections that limit potential buffer
overflow vulnerabilities.
