List installed security patches on HP-UX 11.31

testhpe — Mon, 25 Mar 2024 07:27:27 GMT

Could you please help on how to produce a security patch list for HP-UX 11.31 servers where we could see the bulletin name in the output like, for example, HPESBUX04528 ?

Thanks in advance

@Harshitha_K Thanks both for your feedbacks.

However this does not bring a solution since patch report on HP-UX shows PHxx patch references while

HPE security bulletins refers to a format like HPESBUX04528 or a CVE number.

Therefore, having a CVE number or a bulletin name like HPESBUX04528 does not help

to find if the related patch is actually installed on the server.

Hi @testhpe ,

Please try with these commands.
swlist -l patch #to view the patches installed.
swlist -l patch -a install_date | sort -kn #to view with sorted by install date
swlist -l patch -a date|grep -v ^# |sort -kM3,3 -kn4,4 -kn7,7
show_patches -a #for active patches
show_patches -s #for superseded patches
