Security Bulletins

I am looking for some HP Security Bulletins they are named HPSBUX*****-***. Is there any way of finding these bulletins on the website or have they renamed the bulletins. The specific ones that I am looking for go back as far as 1999.

Connect to the ITRC --> Maintenance & Support tab (at the left of screen) --> under Notifications --> Support Information Digests --> select the check box for Security Bulletins Digest. To see archived security digests, scroll to the bottom of the page and follow the link.

You may have luck on HPs security patch matrix which lists all HP security patches to way back.

Hope this helps.

Use security_patch_check vs using the ftp site as this utility automates the work of finding what you need to install to fix all known issues.

It's a free download from http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/displayProductInfo.pl?productNumber=B6834AA

One clarification to Cheryl's comment:

As Cheryl indicated, Security Patch Check will automate completely the detection of all _patch_ issues.

Unfortunately, it is currently unable to detect issues such as updated software or other types of manual actions. You'll still need to read the bulletins for these issues.
Cheryl's other post says where to find the bulletins.
