The libc cumulative patch is the main libc patch, but to the dependencies will probably require you to update each of these patches. It is normal to have the cum. 10.20 libc compat. patch on 11.x systems.

The current reccomended patches are:
PHCO_25569 --> PHCO_31923
PHCO_28481 --> PHCO_32719
PHCO_29328 --> PHCO_29829
PHCO_29955 --> PHCO_33533
PHSS_28303 --> reccomended.

Make sure to check the readme file and resolve all of the dependencies.

I like John's answer, I would just add that libc and its patches are part of the HP-UX software foundation. Almost every HP-UX command and application links this C library in at runtime.

Hi,

libc patch patches /usr/lib/libc.sl and libc.a

You can find the latest patches at http://www2.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/mainPage.do

PHCO_33533 is the latest libc patch available right now.

Hi ,

The latest of libc patch is :

PHCO_33533 & it has two dependencies:

PHCO_31923 s700_800 11.11 libc cumulative header file patch
PHKL_33258 s700_800 11.11 VxFS cumulative patch ;ml_flag race.

It will need a reboot after installing the patch.

Check itrc patch database for download.

Cheers,
Raj.
