Patch:
System Run Level Correction
State:
Existing
This patch fixes two system run level problems:

is an invalid root entry.
This leaves the system in an unusable state
in single-user mode.

get vol params error EBAD_VDI (-1030)
Fixes three /usr/sbin/lmf date problems:
LMF improperly handles 2-digit dates between 2000 and 2068.
When LMF is given two consecutive commands and the first command
contains a leap year date, then the date for the second command
is automatically assumed to be in a leap year.
LMF did not recognize the date 29-FEB-2000.
Segmentation fault in /sbin/loadsrv.
In the License Management Facility, an incorrect amount
of memory is copied, which potentially can cause data corruption.
This patch is required for users who wish to view user stacktraces
from full crash dumps with dbx.
Corrects a problem where the /sbin/kloadsrv process may hang
and not respond to /usr/sbin/netstat commands.
When this occurred, the
error reported by netstat was no namelist.
Fixes a problem in viewing a variable subrange parameter from
a Pascal module while using dbx.
Corrects a problem in AdvFS where unmounting a domain that
is already in a panicked state could result in the following system panic
message:
log_flush_sync: pinpg error\n N1 = 5
Corrects some error messages given when the AdvFS utility
verify(8) detects file errors.
It also corrects a problem whereby verify
was unable to delete files with no directory entries.
Fixes a problem with multi-volume domains with large frag
files.
Verify complains about frag pages that are in sparse holes and therefore
will be read as a page of zeros causing the domain to appear as if it was
corrupt.
Fixes three problems in dbx:
Most instances of incomplete stack tracing now show the whole
stack.
Assignment to a variable would fail after viewing a non-local
symbol.
The use of vfork would raise a signal 66.

OSF425-042-1 (57.01), OSF425-696A (717.00), OSF425-785 (832.00)
This patch corrects the following:
Addresses two issues with the /sbin/loader:
Fixes a problem where the linker might crash when printing
out lengthy error diagnostics.
Fix for a linker problem that could cause incorrect symbol
resolution in call_shared applications.
The result is the application may
use a shared library's version of a symbol rather than a symbol with the
same name defined in the application.
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.
Adds support for the -B symbolic option in the run-time loader.
This new option to ld(1) alters the search algorithm used in symbol searches.
Provides latent support for DCPI, a performance analysis tool.
Provides the support needed by the Developers' Toolkit Update
Kit.
These updates will not install unless this patch is installed.
Fixes a problem where the linker (ld) would insert incorrect
values for the symbols etext and _etext when building kernels larger than
4 MB.
Fixes segfaults in nm for object files generated by the C++
compiler.
Fixes the name demangling for the tools that print symbol
table names generated by the C++ V6.2 compiler.
This problem will only occur
for most C++ objects compiled with the ANSI options.
Fixes a problem where the linker (ld) could not read arguments
longer than 1024 characters in input files.
This also adds proper support
for line continuation characters.
Fixes a linker problem where including a shared library on
a link line twice with another library in between caused unresolved symbols
in some cases.

faults.
Additionally, the restore utility now uses /var/tmp for temporary
files; previously, it had incorrectly used /tmp.
Fixes a problem in which the restore command can fail with
the following error:

the Korn shell.
Incorrect results occur when the length of the parameter
to the echo command is altered.
Fixes a problem when built-in variables (for example, TMOUT)
are exported as read only with values >
256.
The set command (display all
variables) will cause ksh to core dump with the error "stack overflow".

-pthread or -threads option and the -p or -pg option will not terminate
if the _exit(2) library routine is called when the program is executed.
Fixes a problem with /usr/bin/ksh and the named-pipe (FIFO)
communication that is used by applications.
Corrects a problem that was causing ksh to core dump in vi
editing mode.
ksh was core dumping intermittently when using a dot (.) to
repeat a command.
Fixes unexpected logouts and terminal hangups encountered
when using the /bin/su command and /bin/ksh as a login shell.

function is not able to resolve node names.
Nonstandard characters that fall
out of the standard set, such as underscores, cause a node name resolution
problem for the gethostbyaddr function.
ksh does a segmentation fault and core dumps when displaying
a here-document.
Fixes a problem in the csh shell that caused a change in the
way wildcard patterns were matched.

This patch fixes the following problems:
Fixes the following problems encountered when using the Account
Manager application (dxaccounts):
When you move an accounts home directory, symbolic links in
the old home directory are resolved and files pointed to by the links
are copied into the new home directory.
The userdel utility core dumps when attempting to delete a
user account that is running enhanced C2 security.
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.
Fixes a problem where the account manager graphical interface
(dxaccounts) will core dump on systems running enhanced security when performing
a Find Local User...
or Find NIS User...
operation in which Secondary Groups
is the only search criteria that has been specified.
Fixes a problem where dxaccounts allows the colon (:) 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.
Fixes a problem using templates for pre-expired passwords.
When the administrator creates a template and within the template chooses
force password change at the next login, the user is not being asked to
change his password as he should.
Fixes the following problems:
userdel does not remove accounts from the /etc/passwd file.
The userdel command displays an error message stating the
/etc/passwd file is corrupted, when in fact it is not.
dxaccounts application does not allow users to be added to
groups with group ID lower than the default minimum specified in
the General Options dialog.
Files in subdirectories in the /usr/skel directory are not
copied properly to the newly created user's home directory.
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 a problem where a large number of shells in /etc/shells
(greater than 10) can cause dxaccounts to coredump or have unpredictable behavior.
Fixes two situations in which the GUI account management program
(dxaccounts) will crash in a Enhanced Security client environment when attempting
to copy a NIS user account.

Patch 1065.00
continued
|
Fixes the problem with the useradd, usermod, and userdel commands
removing the last entry of the /etc/passwd file when the last line of the
/etc/passwd file does not end with the new-line character (\n).
Fixes the problem where usermod -D can coredump if an NIS
group entry contains a large number of users.
Fixes a problem in which the command usermod was not allowing
any commas in the comment field when the current GECOS fields are filled.
Fixes a problem in which duplicate user identifier (UID) is
accepted at a second attempt even if the no duplicate user identifier policy
is set.
Updates the error message displayed when Account Manager fails
to start due to the detection of an Account Manager lock file (/etc/.AM_is_running)
on the system.
Fixes a problem in which dxaccounts does not allow the system
manager to add NIS users when the system is running enhanced security.
Fixes the problem of enabling to change root's login/uid through
cli/dxaccounts utilities.
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 problem where usermod -g <group>
<user>
will
lock the user account if it is unlocked.
Fixes a problem where adding a NIS user via useradd required
that the user's primary group exist in NIS as well.
The primary group
does not need to be in the NIS database when adding a NIS user.
Fixes the problem in which a command usermod -D does not display
the Expire date when it is set.
Fixes a problem where the new home directory for a new user
id is created with the date and time stamp of the /usr/skel directory.

syscall (used by df) was incorrectly returning zero blocks USED for clones.
The read-ahead code was incorrectly passing up opportunities to do read-ahead
on clone filesets, resulting in a large performance penalty.
|
Patch 1086.00
continued
|
Corrects two problems in AdvFS property list handling:
Creation of property lists entries in AdvFS filesets with
no available mcells will result in kernel memory fault (kmf).
The get_proplist_entry function (used to disassemble the property
list buffer returned by the "getproplist" system call) returned incorrect
name length on property list names longer than 127 characters.
Fixes a problem with the parameter checking code of the fcntl
system call.
As a result, incorrectly coded fcntl() parameters in user programs
no longer panic the system.
Fixes the AdvFS race between extending and reading subextent
maps and avoids the panic occured in AdvFS bs_get_bf_xtnt_map code (QAR 61985).
This patch also fixes the race with removing storage causing kernel memory
fault (QAR 66890).
Fixes a panic in AdvFS which can have the following error
messages:
panic (cpu 1): bs_cow_pg: pin clone err
panic (cpu 1): bs_cow_pg: cannot get blkMap
Fixes a problem with making a msfs_putpage() call.
The length
argument may get its upper bits truncated which will result in an incorrect
length calculation.
Fixes a problem in which an invalid error status is returned
from the remove_entry system call.
Fixes a problem in AdvFS.
The system panics with a kernel
memory fault.
Fixes a problem in AdvFS.
A system panic occured with the
following error message:
panic: del_dealloc_stg(): cant ref bmt page
Fixes the following /sbin/advfs/verify command problems:
Verify fails to complete on a large number of files.
Verify will core dump when an offset into mountd[] array that
is used to pull out the fileset name is corrupted.
Verify incorrectly reports errors on BMTs that have multiple
extent records for domains created with the mkfdmn -p switch.
Verify fails when lseeking on very large domains.
Fixes a problem that caused AdvFS to incorrectly calculate
metadata file size for files greater than 4GB resulting in corruption on read
and stat syscalls.
Fixes a problem where the output of a ps command, the PAGEIN
column reports 0 for all processes.
Fixes a problem in AdvFS.
A panic occurs with the following
error message:
lock_read: hierarchy violation
Fixes AdvFS inconsistent quota problems and errors similar
to the following appearing on the console:
vmunix: chk_bf_quota: group quota underflow
|
Patch 1086.00
continued
|
Fixes a problem with verify.
When verify is run on a brand
new domain, nfs warnings are displayed even though no nfs related activity
is being done.
Fixes a system hang that could last up to a few minutes with
large files when performing synchronous IO requests.
Fixes an AdvFS problem which caused the system to crash with
a kernel memory fault.
Fixes a problem with a kernel memory fault in AdvFS.
Fixes a problem in which the chfile utility returns an incorrect
error code.
Fixes a problem in AdvFS where putpage_lk/pg_busy deadlock
causes hangs in the system.
Fixes the following vrestore problems:
A previous patch caused incomplete restores.
A warning message is displayed when the path for the first
file in a group of hardlinks is created without using original protection
codes and property lists.
A warning message is displayed and vrestore aborts if it fails
to malloc space for a property list.
A message which had been inserted at the end of the message
file had the wrong message category (this could cause messaging confusion).
An uninitialized variable in the code that restores property
lists could cause malloc failures, memory faults, an "error setting extended
attributes" message, and infinite loops using the -l option.
Corrupted property list information could cause an infinite
loop.
Fixes an AdvFS kernel memory fault caused by a race condition
between migrate and chfile -L in bfflush_start.
Fixes a problem in AdvFS.
The following error messages can
occur:
panic:
simple_lock: uninitialized lock
kernel memory fault:
simple_lock: minimum spl violation
Fixes a problem in AdvFS in which a system that had already
domain paniced results in a system panic.
Fixes a problem where the vdump command will sometimes store
symbolic link files as directories in the vdump archive.
Fixes a problem where an AdvFS domain becomes inaccessible
when using the mount -d option.
Fixes a problem with AdvFS in which a hang occurs due to a
deadlock between bsbuf.state and bmt extent map lock.
Fixes a problem with AdvFS where all processes are waiting
for buffers, causing the system to hang.
Fixes a problem in AdvFS where user data may be lost when
a clone file is migrated.
This patch fixes a panic in AdvFS with the following error
message:
ftx_fail_2: dirty page not allowed

This patch corrects the following:
Fixes a problem where the lpq command causes the program to
crash (memory fault).
Fixes a problem with the lpd line printer daemon.
When /sbin/init.d/lpd
stop, is followed right away by /sbin/init.d/lpd start, the new lpd fails
to start.
The error message from syslog is:
/usr/spool/lpd.lock: locking failed: Operation would block
Fixes to improve the reliability and efficiency of DIGITAL
UNIX print services.
Provides support to the BSD lpd(8) print system for DIGITAL
UNIX Advanced Printing System (APX).
Fixes a problem where, under certain circumstances, a print
queue becomes disabled and printing stops.
Provides printer support for the Euro currency symbol provided
in the UTF-8 Unicode locales.
When printing jobs, a timeout can occur after 5 minutes which
causes some large print jobs to stop, and then resume printing from the
beginning of the print job.
When slave lpd daemons try to process jobs on the print queue,
some of them can fail to obtain a lock on the lock file and exit with
an error.
Fixes a problem where some print jobs will print out twice.
Fixes a problem where remote print job may fail to print,
with the error message:
lstat/open failed for dfA... no such file or directory.
If a print job is printing, and the connection to the remote
printer is lost, the print job does not resume printing once the connection
is restored.
Sometimes, as sequence numbers wrap around from 999 to 000,
job 000 gets submitted before and prints before job 999.
lpstat -u output is incorrect.
When using the I18N ya option, the queue daemon filters will
terminate after 32 jobs.
Under certain circumstances, print jobs are terminated when
printing to certain printers that are connected to a DECserver through
TCP/IP.
Fixes a problem with the lpstat -u command output.
Fixes a printing problem where lpd reads any data from the
printer that has not been read for local and remote connections.
The read-backs
for remote connections cause an addtional two second timeout which may cause
a job-submit failure on the job-number wraparound.
Corrects a problem in which, under certain conditions, unnecessary
error messages are written to the lpr.log file.

Patch 1089.00
continued
|
A user is unable to delete a print job from a remote system
with a hostname greater than 32 characters because the hostname was truncated.
When a TCP/IP connection fails, the retry algorithm would
take longer to print jobs due to a long retry interval.
A timing hole during lpd last-job completion and shutdown
needed to be closed.
It was not possible to print to the lpd queue using Windows
2000.

advscan Command Correction
State:
New.
Supersedes patches OSF425-405263 (338.00), OSF425-405359-1 (352.01)
This patch fixes the following problems:
Fixes a problem caused by the advscan -r command.
The command
would link LSM volumes to the raw device instead of the block device when
it attempted to recreate LSM volume links.
As a result, the directory for
the domain name in the /etc/fdmns file was incorrect and data corruption
occurred.
Fixes a problem in which the advscan -a command causes a memory
fault (core dump) while processing LSM volumes.
Fixes a problem where advscan -a -g does not display bootable
partitions properly.

Fix for mv command
State:

Supersedes patches OSF425-927 (981.00), OSF425-1008 (1092.00)
This patch fixes the following problems with the mv command:
An invalid error message appears when attempting to move
files in which the source name is the same as the destination name.
Using mv -i to rename a symlink pointing to a file on a different
filesystem owned by a different user results in the prompt:
Ownership of y will change. Continue?
When moving a file from one filesystem to another, the mv
command will copy the file rather than using the rename() system call.
This can result in file loss.
Corrects the problem with the mv(1) command deleting files
in the directory when the user moves a directory to itself.

This patch fixes the following problems:
Fixes a problem with Enhanced Security not handling a voucher
correctly from some other security mechanism such as DCE.
The scenario
to reproduce the problem is as follows:
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".
Resolves a problem in Enhanced Security where users could
be locked out when an expiration interval was set such that it exceeded
the maximum calculable date.
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.
Compaq has corrected
this potential vulnerability.
Fixes a problem of libsecurity producing a core file when
handling error conditions.
Fixes a problem when the superuser tries to change the shell
or finger information of another user when C2 Enhanced Security is installed.
Fixes a problem with logins in a DCE/C2 environment.
The user
could encounter an error "Bad priority setting" if there is a u_priority setting
used in /etc/auth/system/default file.
Corrects a problem with the rsh command displaying a warning
message instead of the rsh command output when C2 security is configured.
Fixes a problem when a system is configured with DECnet, C2
and NIS.
When invoking edauth(8) <user_name>, the error: "Must be
on NIS master server to update entry for <user_name>" is returned.
Fixes a problem for Enhanced Security configurations where
the Maximum Login Interval (u_max_login_intvl) field was being ignored for
account templates.

Patch:
Fix for FDI floppy driver
State:
New.
Supersedes patch OSF425-763 (814.00)
This patch fixes a
problem in the FDI floppy driver.
A recursion problem causes a stack overflow
resulting in the system halting for certain commands to the block device.
Compaq has determined in laboratory testing that there is a theoretical possibility
that during read and write operations to the floppy disk on DS10, DS10L, and
ES40 AlphaServers, and VS10 and XP900 AlphaStations, a single byte of data
may be inaccurately read or written without notice to the user or system.
The potential for this anomaly exists only if floppy data read and write
operations are attempted while there is extremely heavy traffic on these Alpha
systems' internal input/output busses.
Although Compaq has observed the anomaly
only in laboratory tests designed to create atypical system stresses, including
almost constant use of the floppy disk drive, we are supplying this patch
to address this potential issue. |
