    B. FIXES

        Fixes are available.

        The fixes can be downloaded via ftp or http from:

        ftp://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/bellmail_fix2.tar
        http://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/bellmail_fix2.tar
        https://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/bellmail_fix2.tar 

        The links above are to a tar file containing this signed
        advisory, interim fixes, and OpenSSL signatures for each interim fix.

        The fixes below include prerequisite checking. This will
        enforce the correct mapping between the fixes and AIX
        Technology Levels.

        AIX Level  Interim Fix (*.Z)         KEY
        ----------------------------------------------
        6.1.9.6    IV92238m8a.170112.epkg.Z  key_w_fix

        2.2.5.x    IV92238m8a.170112.epkg.Z  key_w_fix


        Please note that the above table refers to AIX TL/SP level as
        opposed to fileset level, i.e., 7.1.4.1 is AIX 7100-04-01.

        To extract the fixes from the tar file:

        tar xvf bellmail_fix2.tar
        cd bellmail_fix2

        Verify you have retrieved the fixes intact:

        The checksums below were generated using the
        "openssl dgst -sha256 &lt;filename&gt;" command as the following:

        openssl dgst -sha256                                              filename                 KEY

        These sums should match exactly. The OpenSSL signatures in the tar
        file and on this advisory can also be used to verify the
        integrity of the fixes.  If the sums or signatures cannot be
        confirmed, contact IBM AIX Security at
        [email protected] and describe the discrepancy.

    C. FIX AND INTERIM FIX INSTALLATION

        IMPORTANT: If possible, it is recommended that a mksysb backup
        of the system be created.  Verify it is both bootable and
        readable before proceeding.

        To preview a fix installation:

        installp -a -d fix_name -p all  # where fix_name is the name of the
                                        # fix package being previewed.
        To install a fix package:

        installp -a -d fix_name -X all  # where fix_name is the name of the
                                        # fix package being installed.

        Interim fixes have had limited functional and regression
        testing but not the full regression testing that takes place
        for Service Packs; however, IBM does fully support them.

        Interim fix management documentation can be found at:

        http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/aix.efixmgmt/home.html
        https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/aix.efixmgmt/home.html

        To preview an interim fix installation:

        emgr -e epkg_name -p         # where epkg_name is the name of the
                                     # interim fix package being previewed.

        To install an interim fix package:

        emgr -e epkg_name -X         # where epkg_name is the name of the
                                     # interim fix package being installed.

WORKAROUNDS AND MITIGATIONS:

    None.
