Description: A security issue has been reported in HP Tru64, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain knowledge of potentially sensitive information.
The security issue is caused due to the "ps" command revealing the environment variables and values of all processes to an unprivileged user. This can potentially reveal certain information on processes that belong to the root user.
The security issue affects the following versions:
HP Tru64 UNIX v5.1B-4
HP Tru64 UNIX v5.1B-3
HP Tru64 UNIX v5.1A PK6
HP Tru64 UNIX v4.0G PK4
HP Tru64 UNIX v4.0F PK8
Solution: Install ERP Kits and edit the files "/etc/rc.config.common" for versions v5.1A PK6, v5.1B-3, or v5.2B-4 or "/etc/rc.config" for versions v4.0G PK4 and v4.0F PK8 (See vendor advisory for details).
