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

Patch 27073.00
OSFSDE540
• Fixes various problems in the dbx and object file tools: dbx, ostrip, strip, mcs, dis, cord, file,
and stdump.
• Fixes the way the spike code optimization tool handles -arch and -tune options. Using these
options with previous versions of spike resulted in unproductive error messages and/or
system crashes.
• Fixes a fatal assertion error reported by pixie, hiprof, third spike, cord, uprofile and odump
object file tools for some executables linked at optimization level 2 (-O2) or greater.
• Fixes an internal error with the /usr/bin/spike optimization command.
• Modifies the cflow utility to store its temporary files in a temporary directory created using
the /usr/bin/mktemp utility. If cflow cannot create a temporary directory it terminates with
an exit value of 1.
• Fixes a fatal error in /usr/bin/spike.
• Fixes a problem in which the prof -pixie -testcoverage <exe <exe.Counts sometimes reports
invalid source line number ranges.
• Changes the use of the configuration file /etc/svc.conf to /etc/nsswitch.conf to allow netgroup
data to be provided from LDAP, rather than only from NIS.
• Fixes performance tool failures on Sierra Clusters Parallel File Systems.
• Corrects an inaccurate error message in spike optimizer.
Patch 27075.00
OSFSER540
• Fixes a panic on a system with an Oxygen VX1 graphics card when the X server is killed
while it is starting up.
• Fixes a problem in which the X server shared memory extension sometimes does not display
images properly in windows of depth 16 or 24.
• Corrects a problem that occurs with the Oxygen VX1 graphics card in which XCopyPlane
copies all bitplanes rather than only the requested bitplane.
• Fixes a memory leak in the X server PanoramiX/Xinerama Extension that can cause a process
to core dump.
• Fixes a problem in which the X server's command line option to turn off VESA Display
Power Management Signalling (-dpms) does not work.
• Corrects a problem that can cause the X server to hang every 49 days on systems with
PowerStorm 4D40T, 4D50T, 4D51T, or 4D60T graphics options.
• Fixes a problem in which the X server may crash if the RADEON layered product kit is
installed, 3D rendering is disabled, and a client queries the GLX extension.
• Corrects a potential file permissions vulnerability and a potential buffer overflow in the X
Window System. The potential vulnerabilities are locally exploitable, resulting in
unauthorized privileged access.
• Fixes a problem with the X server when the PanoramiX extension is enabled in which clients
running on Linux® systems with their displays directed to the Tru64 UNIX X server will
fail to start.
• Fixes a problem in the X server that causes mouse buttons to stop working as expected.
Patch 27077.00
OSFSERVICETOOLS540
• Corrects a problem that can cause the collect utility to die from a memory access fault on
systems with a large number of AdvFS domains and filesets.
• Provides the collect utility with support for long disk names.
