MPE security beyond 2006 – open
source bugs
§ Internet hackers will continue to find bugs in the open source
products which are bundled into MPE
– Apache, BIND, Samba, Sendmail
§ Most of these bugs tend to be of the buffer overflow / code
execution variety, which at most will cause a process abort on
MPE without executing any hacker code
§ HP will no longer be providing updated open source binaries for
MPE
§ If these products are critical for your homesteading environment,
you should invest in learning some Unix to MPE porting skills so
you can update the products yourself (it's not that difficult!)
