Re: software of vulnerabilities in HPUX

You can also check for security vunerabilities at places like http://www.cert.org/, and the CERT mailing list http://www.cert.org/contact_cert/certmaillist.html

Also, here in the ITRC Knowledge base, you can search HPs security bulletins.

For ongoing monitoring and detectiopn, HP's Intrusion Detection System, IDS/9000 is a good tool. You can download it from http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/displayProductInfo.pl?productNumber=J5083AA

The posts above and this forum are a good way of tracking vulnerabilities as they happen.

Berlene post importrant warnings as soon as she gets them.

Re: software of vulnerabilities in HPUX

Bill is correct IDS/9000 is also an excellent product. It has alerts that can help in detecting certain operations by applications which might indicate vulnerabilities.
The main aim of this product is to protect the underlying OS and its basic services.

For a complete listing of security offerings see:

security_patch_check

http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/displayProductInfo.pl?productNumber=B6834AA

will analyze your system for missing patches. This covers security bulletins released by HP which do not contain MANUAL ACTIONS, as specified in the HP security bulletin.

You should also subscribe to the HP-UX security bulletin mailing list. Click on "maintenance and support" (to your left), then at the bottom click on "Support notifications" and subscribe to the appropriate digest.

A list of past bulletins is available from a link at the bottom of that page, "hp-ux security bulletins archive"

Not all software...but hope it helps. There are also several network and host-based scanners that are available, if that's what you're looking for.
