This patch corrects the following:
This patch is an upgrade/replacement for the OTTO/OPPO ATM
driver and fixes a number of flow control and signalling problems.
If you
are seeing "No Buffer Space" messages, experiencing pauses or hangs when
receiving data on signalling/ilmi pvc's, or have any problems with FLOWMASTER
flow control with CLIP or LANE over ATM, you should install this patch.
Fixes two problems with the ATM 350 driver.
On reboot, a panic could be encountered before getting into
single user mode.
The panic would occur inside the ltaintr routine and
this routine would be noted in the dump stack trace.
This problem was seen
on Personal Workstation 500ua (MIATA) and the ATM 350 card.
The second problem is a panic: thread_block: interrupt level
call when rt_preempt_opt (REALTIME preemption) is enabled.
A typical stack
trace would look like this for the top of the stack:
panic
thread_block()
thread_preempt()
panic
thread_block()
unix_release_force()
unix_release()
schedtransmit()
softclock_scan()
Or this:
panic
thread_block()
thread_preempt()
panic
thread_block()
unix_release_force()
unix_release()
ottooutput()
atm_cmm_send()
An upgrade enhancement to the ATM350 driver.
This patch prevents
panics in driver routines that can be called from different interrupt levels.
Fixes a panic from the ATM OTTO/OPPO driver.

This patch corrects the following:
An upgrade/replacement for the "FTA" FDDI driver and fixes
a DMA Error which can occur with the older driver.
If it became necessary
to back out a partially constructed frame from the transmit queue, the older

This patch corrects the following:
When creating a new user account with a home directory of
root, the permissions on the root directory are changed to 700, rendering
the root file system inaccessible to non-root users.
Patch Kit-0001 causes a problem with the System V Environment
(SVE) /usr/opt/svr4/usr/bin/passwd command.
If an invalid password is
entered, subsequent invocations of the passwd command, /usr/bin/X11/dxaccounts
command, or the account management commands fail with the following error:
The password and group files are currently locked by another user.
Fixes for miscellaneous problems with the account management
commands, specifically the Account Manager graphical user interface (/usr/bin/X11/dxaccounts)
and the command line interface (useradd, userdel, groupadd, etc).
Fixes a problem that causes the account management commands
(dxaccounts, useradd, and usermod) to split long NIS group lines incorrectly.
This causes a majority of users to have improper access to files, directories,
and applications and also causes the newgrp command to fail.
Fixes the following problems:
When Enhanced Security is enabled, the useradd and usermod
commands incorrectly set the password expired and password lifetime attributes
to 0 when not specified on the command line.
The administrative_lock_applied command line option for useradd
and usermod does not correctly lock and unlock an account.
The administrative_lock_applied command line option for useradd
and usermod does not correctly lock and unlock an account.
When issuing a useradd -D or usermod -D command to view the
account manager defaults, the Inactive (days) value would always show the
character 's' rather than nothing when the Inactive days status has been
defeated with a -1 value.
Fixes the following problems encountered when using the Account
Manager application (dxaccounts):
When modifying an existing NIS "+" or NIS "-" user account
by turning off the NIS Overrides toggle, the User ID field is incorrectly
set to 0.
While adding a NIS "+" or NIS "-" user, dxaccounts requires
a password to be set.
Fixes a problem where Dxaccounts allows the ':' character
to be accepted in the user shell, home directory, fullname, office, office
phone, and home phone fields.
This caused the /etc/passwd file to become
corrupted.

if it is unlocked.
Fixes a problem where the account manager graphical interface

"Secondary Groups" is the only search criteria that has been specified.

This patch corrects the following:
Fixes memory leaks with the FDDI and Token Ring method routines
used with Extensible SNMP subagent (ESNMP).
The SNMP agent returns incorrect data when requested for the
MIB II Address Translation Table (atTable).
The agent returns correct data
for ipNetToMediaTable, which supersedes atTable in MIB II.
This patch removes support for atTable, so that common applications
(like NetView autodiscovery) will use the ipNetToMediaTable instead.
Fixes the os_mibs source file, hrm_fs.c, which makes a call
to the statfs function with 2 arguments, when statfs expects 3 arguments.
Fixes the problem where a malformed trap message sent at boot-time
by the DIGITAL UNIX SNMP daemon to a Windows NT Network Management Station
(NMS) could cause the NMS application or the NT operating system to crash.

Fixes a problem where the linker might crash when printing
out lengthy error diagnostics.

A
majority of these result in system crashes.
These crashes are most prevalent
when stressing LAN Emulation (LANE).
Fixes two panics in the lta driver, ATM LANE interoperability
problems with IBM switches, and slow recovery of UNI 3.0 signalling from
network interruptions.
When tcpdump is run with ATM LAN emulation, a kernel memory
fault occurs.
Fixes a problem with the ATMworks 351 (Meteor) loadable driver.
Fixes an ATM problem.
When the ATM subsystem receives a CONNECT
message with no signalling information elements (IEs), it corrupts a single
byte of kernel memory.
Fixes a problem when ATM ELAN's are configured and an ATM
switch reboots.
This can cause a temporary connectivity problem.
Hosts
on Ethernet segments may not be able communicate with the DIGITAL UNIX ATM
ELAN hosts until the expiration of router ARP timers.
Fixes a problem that occurs on a system running ATM.
The system
panics with a "kernel memory fault" due to a simple lock time violation.
Prior to the crash, the pvc flag is observed as stale on a permanent
virtual circuit.
The crash occurs after the pvc is deleted with the following
command:
# atmconfig -pvc .....
Fixes the conformance problem with the DIGITAL UNIX LAN Emulation.
The DIGITAL UNIX LAN Emulation client now complies with the LANE V1 spec
when locating the LAN Emulation Configuration Server (LECS).
The client
now asks the switch via ILMI for the ATM address of the LECS.
ATM will fail to connect on incoming calls that are UNI version
3.1 In some cases incorrect data for the Elan name was being used.
This
would cause D/UNIX to try to join an invalid Elan.
This fix allows the "elan_name" option to be set with the
"les" option.
Fixes two problems in ATM.
A Virtual Circuit may hang when
running Classical IP under a very heavy load, and the kernel malloc pool
could be corrupted, causing kernel memory faults.
Fixes a problem in which an ATM CLIP connection does not send
data.
Fixes an interoperability problem with CISCO CLIP clients.

A system running four DE425 adapters off an EISA bus may hang.
If a device's EISA configuration file contains a function
DISABLE keyword and the DISABLE option is selected, the device's driver
may not be configured and probed at bus configuration time.
Fixes a problem in which EISA/ISA buses do not correctly match
functions for loadable drivers.
EISA configuration code returns a non-null Function_Name field for the
token ring card.
This field is ignored if the driver is configured statically.
However, when configured dynamically, scan_eisa_slot attempts to exactly
match whatever is specified in the sysconfigtab entry with what is returned
by the token ring card.

Patch:
Default C Compiler Correction
State:
New.
Supersedes patches OSF415-410124 (371.00), OSF415-410173 (666.00)
This patch corrects the following:
Fixes a problem that occurs when the default C compiler is
used to compile a program using the following switches on the command line:
c -compress -fast
Implements a new cc switch to allow the passing of the ld
"-input file" switch to the linker via cc, without changing its relative
position in the ld command line.
The current method for doing this (-Wl,-input,filename)
changes the order in which such a file is presented to the linker, and can
result in an invalid transfer address in an executable, resulting in a
segmentation fault.
Fixes a problem in cc that causes it to set the incorrect
optimization level when the user specifies the "-O -migrate" options.

the performance of lastcomm.
Fixes a problem with the fsck command.
When fsck is run on
a non-existent file system or on a currently mounted file system, it returns
a success status of zero.
It should return a non-zero status.
This patch resolves a TCP/IP network hang due to IP Q ACK
deadlock.
When this condition occurs the IP Q becomes full due to saturation.
Representative console messages indicating this condition are shown below:
SIS00-00-root: IP q full, 315617 packets dropped in the last 5 mins.
Fixes a performance problem that occurs with UFS file systems.
Fixes a problem in which the ufs property list can become
corrupted.

following error message:
kernel memory fault
The kernel panics with a "kernel memory fault", typically
in either the vm_pg_alloc() or vm_zeroed_pg_alloc() routines.
This network patch, which greatly improves DIGITAL UNIX networking
performance, is targeted at high traffic Web server systems or any system
which handles a large number of TCP connections simultaneously; e.g., more
than several thousand at one time.
This patch resolves a kernel memory fault.
This patch is
MANDATORY.
System panics with message "vm_map_swapout: negative resident
count".
Fixes a kernel memory fault in ether_output packet filter,
when running tcpdump.
Fixes a problem that occurs on all systems that use networking
system.
Fixes ICMP REDIRECTS.
When an ICMP REDIRECT is received,
the routing table was updated properly, but the IP layer didn't use then
new route information.
Fixes a problem in which the system can panic with "lock already
owned by thread".
This patch is a kernel fix for network sockets left in FIN_WAIT_1
state forever.
This patch contains a "tunable" kernel parameter.
It is
recommended that only experienced system administrators attempt to set this
parameter from the default value.
The user or system UAC_NOPRINT settings are ignored when an
unaligned access trap on a user address was taken while in kernel mode;
the unwanted error message is still printed.
NetWorker Version4.2c requires this patch for new fcntl functionality.
This layered product will not run desirably without this patch.
This patch allows tuneablity for existing two level task swapping
scheme.
The ObjectStore application from Object Design, Inc.
fails
with the following error:
"Fatal error Invalid argument(errno = 22)
munmap failed: cl_mmap:"
Fixes a system crash when setting the date on SMP systems.
Devices sometimes cannot be accessed by the system after getting
selection timeouts.
Fixes a network socket problem with select() missing state
changes on clients from non-write to writable.

Fixes a network socket problem with select() missing state
changes on clients from non-write to writable.
Fixes some hangs that can occur during the "syncing disks..."
portion of panic processing, improves the reliability of getting a dump
after a system panic, and also makes it more likely that AdvFS buffers
will be synced to disk after a system panic.
The vmstat(1) command displays negative numbers when used
with the '-P' option.
Problem may not appear on all platorms or configurations.
It is dependent on how the system constructs various internal data structures.
Prevents a "kernel memory fault" in bread() during sync operations.
Fixes "kernel memory fault" panics from the kernel malloc()
routine, and threads hanging in vfs_busy() when file-on-file mounting (kernel
option FFM_FS) is used with fattach()/fdetach() or System V STREAMS.
Fixes a problem that prevents an "options DCEDFS" line from
being added to the kernel configuration file.
Without the fix, the kernel
build will fail with the error "ld: dcedfs.mod: setjmp: multiply defined".
Fixes a panic which occurs when a UNIX domain socket lock
is being held while calling vrele().
An enhanced fix to the solockpair() routine.
This fix was
needed because the routine was freeing a socket lock structure that was
concurrently spun upon in lock_write().
Typical problem symptoms include
kernel memory faults with sockets, mbufs and mblocks as well as hangs.
Applications using sockets in a multithreaded, multicpu environment can
experience a number of lock violations with the socket structures.
This
patch is MANDATORY to install on all systems.
It will be effective on Uniprocessor
systems when lockmode debugging is invoked.
Corrects a problem with an NFS V3 mounted AdvFS file system
where under heavy I/O load, data being written to a file may be lost.
Additionally,
because file stats are not being saved, the file modification time may
revert to a previous value.
Fixes a panic that prints "kernel memory fault".
Fixes a 'recursion count overflow' problem that occurs on
DIGITAL UNIX systems.
Allows some third-party NFS v2 clients to experience a performance
improvements.
This patch greatly reduces the number of "NFS stale file handle"
messages logged to an NFS server system console.

Fixes a problem in AdvFS that produced the following system
panic:
bs_logflush_start: cannot write lsn
Fixes a problem with messages in system logs that reported
AdvFS user and group quota limits.
The messages were unclear: the user
could not determine from them which users or groups were reaching the quota
limits.
Fixes several problems associated with AdvFS tag files and
directories, including displays of erroneous data and system panics.
Fixes three verify command problems:
The command was displaying a large volume of meaningless data.
When it encountered a nonrecoverable error, the command did
not properly exit.
The command sent some error messages to stderr, some to stdout.
Fixes a problem in AdvFS locking code which causes the following
panic:
kernel memory fault
|
Patch 693.00
continued |
Fixes a problem in AdvFS that was causing a memory leak.
Fixes the following problems in AdvFS:
A operating system hang condition.
The hang condition exists
due to processes deadlocking in the AdvFS code.
AdvFS does not return an error when a user opens a file in
O_SYNC mode and power is lost on the disk drive.
A locking error in the AdvFS fs_write() routine.
Fixes a problem with AdvFS that caused a page fault and the
following panic:
panic (cpu 0): kernel memory fault
Fixes two AdvFS problems:
An error message was misleading when a DIGITAL UNIX Version
4 system attempted to access a file domain created by DIGITAL UNIX Version
5.
A state field in an AdvFS data structure was initialized,
but not maintained.
Fixes a problem where a system hang can occur when creating
an AdvFS file system, such as on "/ "or "/usr" partitions, on small memory
systems (e.g., 32-64 mb).
Fixes a problem where user files or the AdvFS frag file could
lose data, if they are updated during an AdvFS migration (that is, during
a balance, defragment, migrate, or rmvol of their AdvFS domain).
Fixes a problem that occurs on AdvFS systems.
The system
will panic with the following error message:
malloc_overflow: guard space corruption
Fixes a problem in the chvol command.
chvol was not recognizing
LSM volumes.
Fixes an AdvFS problem that occurs when the rmvol command
is stopped before the commmand successfully removes a volume from a domain.
As a result, the showfdmn and addvol commands interpreted the volume as
still in the domain (although with no data available) and a balance operation
returned the following AdvFS error message:
get vol params error EBAD_VDI (-1030)
Fixes a problem in the AdvFS system.
The log file corruption
caused panics during recovery and failures displaying one of the following
messages:
ftx_fail: lgr_read failure
or
ftx_fail: dirty page not allowed
Fixes a problem in AdvFS, which causes a system panic when
a truncate operation is performed on a file.
The panic is:
log half full
Fixes a problem in which the vquota, vedquota, quota, edquota,
dump, csh, and nslookup commands will sometimes display incorrect error
messages for non-English locales.

This patch corrects the following:
Fixes a problem with the DECthreads "legacy" library.
Specifically
this patch addresses the potential hang of programs that use the Draft 4
for pthread_once().
Fixes a problem in which multithreaded applications that reference
a pthread_mutex_destroy routine may fail with EBUSY or the application
may hang.
Fixes a problem whereby mkpasswd fails for /etc/passwd files
that are very large (containing roughly 30 thousand to 80 thousand entries).
Fixes problems that might cause threaded programs running
under DIGITAL UNIX 4.0 to hang.
Specifically, this patch addresses situations
related to DECthread bugcheck, pthread_once() or cma_once(), and unhandled
exceptions.
Fixes problems in threaded programs related to DECthreads
bugchecks, fork(), stack corruptions and exception handling problems.
This
patch may also fix problems with non-threaded programs relating exception
handling.
Fixes threaded applications seeing a deadlock with fork(),
premature stack overflows, corrupted mutexes, and orphaned condition variable
or mutex blocking structures.
Fixes problems in threaded applications with incorrect signal
behavior and thread creation failures using user allocated stacks.
A potential security vulnerability has been discovered in
BIND (Domain Name Service), where under certain circumstances, system integrity
may be compromised.
This may be in the form of improper file or privilege
management.
DIGITAL has corrected this potential vulnerability.
Fixes a problem in which mallopt(M_MXFAST), instead of making
malloc() faster makes it as much as 65 times slower.
|
Patch 696.00
continued
|
Fixes a problem where a call to popen() hangs after a bad
call to pclose() in a threaded program.
A potential security vulnerability has been discovered, where
under certain circumstances, system integrity may be compromised.
This may
be in the form of improper file or privilege management.
DIGITAL has corrected
this potential vulnerability.
Fixes a problem that may cause older call_shared FORTRAN applications
to find missing symbols in libc.so.
Fixes a deadlock problem that may occur with multithreaded
applications calling any of the functions for getting system database information
(gethostent, getservent, etc.) and which also call fork.
The deadlock
may occur when such applications are run on systems configured to use YP
services.
Fixes a problem that occurs after a user logs into a system
with an SRV4-style LAT device.
When the ttyslot function is called, the
system fails to find the device and returns a value of zero, indicating
an error in the ttyslot function.
Fixes a problem that prevents gethostent() from returning
all YP or bind served entries.
Fixes a problem in which the interaction of signals with setjmp/longjmp
called repeatedly in a loop was causing a segmentation violation and core
dump in a customer's application.
Fixes problems with redundant close operations on file descriptors
by Network Information Services (NIS) and Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) in
multithreaded applications.
Fixes a problem in which the rcmd function may cause the system
to dump core.
This is a mandatory patch for DIGITAL UNIX 4.0.
Fixes the
following two problems that occur in the DECthreads core library:
The process blocked signal mask, as set by sigprocmask() is
cleared in the child process following a fork().
Under certain load conditions, a DECthreads bugcheck occurs
in pthread_kill().
This results in a core dump.
Allows customers to create hashed passwd databases from large
passwd files by using a new option (-s) to the mkpasswd command.
The -s
option increases the block size of the database page file.
Fixes a TCP/IP problem that can occur with programs linked
with the libc library.
These programs may return a value of (-1) when calling
the svc_tcp() function.
Fixes a deadlock issue between fork() processing and exception
handling on DIGITAL UNIX 4.0c.
An exception occuring during a fork() operation
would cause the child and parent processes to hang with no cpu activity.
Fixes a problem in libc.
The allocation of pty's sometimes
doesn't work correctly.
This can cause problems with the EMACS editor.
Fixes two problems in the DECthreads library:
On multiprocessor platforms, condition variable broadcasts
were occassionally being lost.
Stack unwinding during exception processing was losing contexts,
resulting in incorrect stack traces.
Corrects a problem related to the statically initialized mutexes
in DECthreads library (libpthread.so).
|
Patch 696.00
continued
|
Fixes a problem whereby a call to the libc dbm_open() routine
followed immediately by a call to dbm_close() causes hashed database directory
files to be truncated.
Corrects a problem which occurs when pthread_cond_timedwait()
is called with a large timeout value (greater than 23 days).
Fixes a problem with call_shared executables that are linked
with libc.a instead of libc.so.
A symptom of this problem is that routines
like dlopen(3) and __fini_* routines are not run.
Fixes a problem that causes systems to panic with a "kernel
memory fault" from u_dev_lockop().
This has happened when a database tried
to memory map a file.
There is a problem in the Bind 4.9.3 patch which may cause
incorrect messages to be reported.
It may also cause statically linked programs
using certain network functions in libc to core dump.
Fixes a problem with the auditd daemon.
If auditd is logging
to a server and the server becomes unavailable, the CPU usage for the daemon
rises dramatically.
Fixes a problem in which RPC client functions do not correctly
handle system calls interrupted by a signal (EINTR errors).
Fixes a problem that causes the readdir_r() function to read
past the end of its input buffer.
A potential audit vulnerability has been discovered, where
under certain circumstances, the audit trail of a user may be compromised.
DIGITAL has corrected this potential vulnerability.
Fixes a DECthreads problem in which a threaded program may
unexpectedly abort a process.
Fixes a bug found in 'pthread_kill' call.
The bug may cause
a thread program to terminate when the program tries to send a kill signal
to a terminated thread.
Fixes a problem whereby exceptions propagating out of (or
thrown from) __init routines in C (or C++) programs are not caught by the
last chance handler and result in an infinite loop.
Fixes a problem with the syslog function.
Some syslog messages
may fail to get written to a log file when the system is experiencing a
heavy I/O load.
Fixes a problem with rexec(3) losing socket descriptors.
Fixes a problem with the statvfs function.
statvfs returns
a wrong status when the file system is full.
Fixes a problem which occurs when a program attempts to create
a thread with stacksize or guardsize greater than maximum signed long integer.
Corrects two problems:
A process hang when an application linked with libpthread
performs a realloc(0,0).
A memory leak when small blocks are allocated with valloc().
Fixes a problem in the DECthreads library for DIGITAL UNIX.
During a fork() operation, DECthreads temporarily replaces its signal-to-exception
mapping for synchronous signals by installing the system default handler.
This fix permits any user-installed handlers to remain in place during
the fork() operation.

Fixes an AdvFS response time problem that occurred when an
application with many random access reads of many files was being slowed
down by the resulting number of writes to disk.
Fixes a scanset processing problem in swscanf().
Fixes a problem that causes a segmentation fault when doprnt
calls strlen with non-null-terminated char arrays.
Fixes a problem with disklabel, where the command failed if
the device was unable to provide disk geometry information.
A call to dbm_open() followed immediately by a call to dbm_close()
caused hashed database directory files to be unnecessarily flushed.
The ndbm routines were not threadsafe because of the definition and
use of buffer ovfbuf, and dbm_open had some problems in its error handling
code.
The calculation of the page block size in dbm_open() did not make some
necessary checks on size limits.
Fixes a problem in the audit daemon when it is used as a network
server.
Child auditd processes that are serving network connections fail
to reap their child processes (such as when log files are compressed), leaving
them as defunct processes on the system.
Resolves a problem with Enhanced Security not handling a voucher
correctly from some other security mechanism such as DCE.
The scenario
to reproduce the problem would be: a user incorrectly enters his username
at the first "login:" prompt, but subsequently corrects the login name when
prompted again after the first failure.
Without this patch, the user upon
successfully typing their login/password on the second try would still
receive the message "login incorrect".
Fixes a problem with printing floating point values using
the width and precision specifiers.
Previously, the leading and trailing
zero counts were often miscalculated.
Fixes a memory leak in the libc glob() function.
Fixes a virtual memory problem that may cause the system to
panic with one of the following messages:
pmap_begin_mutex_region timeout
or
simple_lock timeout
A potential security vulnerability has been discovered , where
under certain circumstances, system integrity may be compromised.
This may
be in the form of improper file or privilege management.
DIGITAL has corrected

Fixes a problem in which BIND client applications are not
able to resolve node names.
Network applications running on a BIND client
such as ping, telnet, and ftp using node names that are resolved by a BIND
server will result in resolution errors such as "unknown host".
Adds automatic detection of a cdfs file system for the mount(8)
command.

Eventually the process will core dump.
/adp/bin/adpbkup[135]: no space
Fixes a problem with the ksh shell program.
ksh prevents a
command which runs in a sub-process from writing to a tape device.
Fixes a problem that occurs when using the Korn shell (ksh).
Keyboard input is not echoed when a user exits via a trap, after editor
options have been set in ksh.
Fixes a problem in which the ksh command periodically prints

Fixes a problem in which the ksh shell sometimes reverses
the group id (GID) and the effective group id (egid) of the calling process.
Fixes problems that occur when using the ksh shell.
When the
PATH for a command is not found, the following error message is displayed.
Also, when the set command is executed, the system core dumps.
Fixes a problem that occurs when using the Korn shell (ksh).
Variables set with the typeset -L[n] built-in command do not work correctly
when other subshells are spawned.
Fixes a problem that was caused by the Korn shell running
in EMACS mode.
When a window was resized with a width that exceeded 160
characters, the next command (or even a return) would cause the ksh utility
to core dump.
Fixes a problem in the kornshell in which the "lt" operator
didn't work correctly when the first expression was more than ten digits.
Fixes a problem when builtin variables (ex.
TMOUT) are exported
as readonly with values >
256.
The 'set' command (display all variables)
will cause ksh to core dump with the error "stack overflow".
Corrects several serious problems with the "csh" command.
Some of these the commands under the "csh" shell.
Fixes a problem that occurs when using the C shell (csh).
When a command that does both wildcard expansion and command substitution
