RESOLUTION

     HP has made archive files and patches available to resolve the vulnerability. The archive files are listed in the table below. In some cases a patch is required. The patch will insure that NNM is compatible with the software files in the archive. No patch is required for NNM v7.53

   
Note: The files installed for the Resolution in "rev.1" of this Security bulletin must be removed. Instructions for removing the files are in the Readme.txt file. The files recommended in "rev.1" of this Security Bulletin introduced a problem with the 'ovstop -c' command. Under certain circumstances the 'ovstop -c' command would not stop certain NNM processes. The files recommended in "rev.1" of this Security Bulletin do resolve the security vulnerability. 

   
The patches are available from http://itrc.hp.com 

   
The archive files are available from: ftp://ss080024:ss080024@hprc.external.hp.com/ 

   
Unpack the archive and follow the instructions in the Readme.txt file.
