PROBLEM: (SSRT0743U, 88914, SSRT0743U) (PATCH ID: OSF520-040) ******** 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. PROBLEM: (94005, SSRT2256) (PATCH ID: OSF520-578) ******** A potential security vulnerability has been discovered, where under certain circumstances, system integrity may be compromised when a buffer overflow occurs in the 'ps' 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: (81365) (PATCH ID: OSF520-1032) ******** This patch fixes a situation, in which the header fields displayed by the output of 'ps' command are not aligned properly. The problem is that the headers displayed by the 'ps' command will not be aligned properly if the pid has more than 6 digits in it. PROBLEM: (80783) (PATCH ID: OSF520-939) ******** Patch allows whitespace in header field with 'ps' option '-o'. Multiple headers with whitespace can be given with 'ps' option '-o'.
