HP Tru64 UNIX and TruCluster Server Version 5.1B-6 Patch Summary and Release Notes

• Fixes the behavior of the rpc.rquotad daemon in a cluster.
• Addresses a mountd problem in which spurious signals can cause mountd to dump core
and a second problem that causes .INCLUDE parsing to function incorrectly.
• Enables AutoFS mount-on paths to have the correct maximum length when AutoFs files are
mapped directly.
• Fixes an rpc.lockd problem involving lock contention, in which lock requests accumulate
on a linked list that is searched with each kernel lock manager poll and result in excessive
CPU consumption
• Fixes an issue in which an error was being reported with an empty direct map.
• Fixes a problem where rpc.statd does not correctly create the sm and sm.bak directories on
startup, causing rpc.statd to exit.

management.

file is supplied to error.
• Fixes many small problems in dsfmgr.
• Fixes various problems in the dbx and object file tools dbx, ostrip, strip, mcs, dis, cord, file,
and stdump.
• Provides protection against a class of potential security vulnerabilities called buffer overflows.
Buffer overflows are sometimes exploited in an attempt to subvert the function of a privileged
program and possibly execute commands at the elevated privileges if the program file has
the setuid privilege. This patch allows a system administrator to enable memory management
protections that limit potential buffer overflow vulnerabilities.
• Corrects a problem that occurs when stdin, stdout and stderr are closed and cfg_connect
fails to connect to cfgmgr.
