Solbourne OS/MP 4.1C Public Patches

Compiled by Craig Dewick

For those of you who possess Solbourne Kbus multiprocessor Sparc clone systems, OS/MP (Operating System / Multi-Processor) patches are provided in the first instance by Grumman Systems Support Corporation. If you have a current Solbourne support contract, you can contact Grumman for a password to the complete OS/MP patch distribution.

Unfortunately, Grumman, like Sun, don't put all patches in the public domain, so I've made available for ftp the handful of public patches for OS/MP 4.1C (the most recent version of OS/MP) from here:.

- Patch 94122202 - SunOS 4.1.3: Root access possible via forced passwd race condition (Sun id 102023-03).
- Patch 95020701 - add mail.local and man page. disable /bin/mail setuid.
- Patch 95130405 - SunOS 4.1.3: sendmail jumbo patch (Sun id 100377-19).
- Patch 95070502 - Fix NFS/UFS inode lock missed wakeup.
- Patch 96051401 - SunOS 4.1.1;4.1.2;4.1.3: Security update for syslogd. (Sun id 100909-03).
- Patch 96092304 - rpc.statd security fix.

All other OS/MP 4.1C patches have not been put in the public domain, and require a special password from Grumman to access them. (grrrrr... this is very bad practise for systems which no longer have any active hardware or software devlopment being done for them).

I have a complete list of patches for OS/MP 4.1C available so you can see what we're all missing out on in the patch department... 8-)
