B. FIXES

    Fixes are available.  The fixes can be downloaded via ftp
    from:

    ftp://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/libodm_ifix.tar

    The link above is to a tar file containing this signed
    advisory, fix packages, and PGP signatures for each package.
    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
    ---------------------------------------------------
    6.1.7.9      IV60313s9a.140515.epkg.Z     key_w_fix

    2.2.2.4      IV60311s4a.140515.epkg.Z
    2.2.3.2      IV60299s2a.140515.epkg.Z

    To extract the fixes from the tar file:

    tar xvf libodm_ifix.tar
    cd libodm_ifix

    Verify you have retrieved the fixes intact:

    The checksums below were generated using the
    "csum -h SHA1" (sha1sum) command is the followng:

    csum -h SHA1 (sha1sum)                    filename
    ------------------------------------------------------------------
    3f0fad2c7aa306c3734abfe37a90da27f2746b0b  IV60313s9a.140515.epkg.Z

    To verify the sum, use the text of this advisory as input to sha1sum.
    For example:

    csum -h SHA1 -i Advisory.asc
    sha1sum -c Advisory.asc

    These sums should match exactly. The PGP 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; thus, IBM does not warrant the fully
    correct functionality of an interim fix.

    Interim fix management documentation can be found at:

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

    To preview an interim fix installation:

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

    To install an interim fix package:

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