Description:
HP has issued patches for HP-UX. These fix an old vulnerability, which can be exploited by malicious people to gain knowledge of certain system information.
The vulnerability is caused due to the rpc.mountd service returning various replies depending on whether a requested file exists or not. This can be exploited to enumerate files present on the system by attempting to mount them and looking at the returned error messages.
