APS APXSVR100E01 Advanced Printing Software for Tru64 UNIX ECO Summary

TITLE: APS APXSVR100E01 Advanced Printing Software for Tru64 UNIX ECO Summary Copyright (c) Compaq Computer Corporation 1999. All rights reserved. Modification Date: 09-AUG-1999 Modification Type: New Kit OP/SYS: Compaq Tru64 UNIX [R] V4.0D through V4.0F COMPONENT: Advanced Printing Software (APS) V1.0 SOURCE: Compaq Computer Corporation ECO INFORMATION: ECO Kit Name: APXSVR100E01 ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: none ECO Kit Approximate Size: 840 Blocks, 430,080 Bytes Kit Applies To: Advanced Printing Software (APS) V1.0 for Compaq Tru64 UNIX V4.0D, V4.0E, and V4.0F System/Cluster Reboot Necessary: No Installation Rating: N/A Kit Dependencies: The following remedial kit(s) must be installed BEFORE installation of this kit: None In order to receive all the corrections listed in this kit, the following remedial kits should also be installed: None ECO KIT SUMMARY: An ECO kit exists for Advanced Printing Software (APS) V1.0 on Compaq Tru64 UNIX [R] V4.0D through V4.0F. This kit addresses the following problems: Problems addressed in APXSVR100E01: o A potential security vulnerability exists in the supervisor server process. (This vulnerability does not affect normal unprivileged users.) The potential security vulnerability in the supervisor (pdspvr) program affects users who are designated Print System Administrators. The version of pdspvr supplied with this ECO corrects this problem. It is identified by the version string "1.0-A", which can be obtained by running the program with the -V option. NOTE: This ECO applies only to server ("APXSVR100") installations. Advanced Printing client installations do not require this ECO. To determine which Advanced Printing subsets are installed, use the following command: # setld -i | grep APX # /usr/pd/lib/pdspvr -V The version supplied with this patch identifies itself as "1.0-A". The version supplied with V4.0F identified itself as "1.0-APX100". INSTALLATION NOTES: This ECO applies only to the Supervisor supplied with the APXSVR100 subset. Advanced Printing base client installations do not require this ECO. To determine which Advanced Printing subsets are installed, use the following command: # setld -i | grep APX Installation of this ECO requires the subset APXSVR100 to have been previously installed. During the installation process, updated files will be replaced. To install this ECO, use the setld command: # setld -l Once the ECO installation is completed, Compaq recommends you stop all supervisors on the system and restart them for the changes to take effect: # ps axwo command | grep lib/pdspvr | egrep -v grep | awk '{print $NF}' The above will print out the names of all supervisors running on this system. Next, for each name returned, do the following to shut down the supervisor processes: # pdshutdown -w now Lastly, restart the supervisor processes # /sbin/init.d/apx start To remove this ECO, use setld to delete the ECO subset. When the subset it de-installed, the original files will be replaced. # setld -d APXSVR100E01 All trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
