HP-UX is NOT Exploitable, even though HP-UX does have the buffer
overflow, and hence is listed as "effected" above. In any case, the
buffer overflow has been fixed by HP. >>>>

Did you take a backup?

Hi,

Yes I read that part regarding HP-UX unexploitable. However, it is still subjected to buffer overflows if left unfixed. Buffer overflows cannot be healthy.
