PROBLEM: (94255, SSRT2275) (PATCH ID: OSF520-620)
********
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.

PROBLEM: (SSRT2275) (PATCH ID: OSF520-922)
********
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.
