Bugtraq: Re: [ Hackerslab bug_paper ] HP-UX crontab temporary file symbolic li nk

[Ann Cantelow <cantelow () ATLAS CSD NET>]

We found Dec/Compaq unpatched 4.0d vulnerable, but it was pointed out to
us that 4.0d with recommended patches is not vulnerable.  4.0g is not
vulnerable in our test, and we've been told 4.0f is not vulnerable.
