HP-UX 11 security issue

[Javier Serrano]

Hi all, from one scan over an HPUX 11 I receive the next vulnerability:
"seqport:System allocates ports in a sequential or predictable order (CVE-1999-0074)"
It is any way to close this vulnerability??

Thanks

Also note: security_patch_check is a good way to get a list of patches that close security holes.

You should consider validating the severity of problems you read about by circumstances. If your server is behind a firewall and the notes say this is a problem when exposed to the Internet you need not act immediatly unless your server is exposed to the public Internet.
