SLS ptf7646b: lp Driver Supplement

For: UnixWare 7.0.1. - 7.1.1 Date posted: 24-JUL-00

Description: This SLS addresses all of the problems listed below.

1. The lp driver stops responding if a process that is writing to it is killed. 2. Printing via the parallel port is extremely slow. (This is especially known to occur on some Compaq systems.) There is a timing issue between the response from some printers on the parallel port and the retry wait loop code. This causes the printer to go into a wait after each character is printed. This has been resolved by creating a configurable wait tunable, lp_parallel_wait, which is present in a new lp space.c. This allows the tuning of a wait time before going into the retry wait loop. The value of lp_parallel_wait can range from 80 to 1000000 (one second). It will be necessary to experiment with this value to restore normal printing speed.

SLS ptf7645b: ipc Driver Supplement

For: UnixWare 7.1.1 Date posted: 19-AUG-00

Description: This SLS addresses the following problem:

ipcs -qa sets the message queue to R, but once msgrcv is completed, the flag is not reset. Thus, ipcs -qa may not show a true representation of the message queues.

msgrcv() sets the MSG_RWAIT flag when a message receiver waits for a message. However, the driver never clears this flag. SLS ptf7645b clears the MSG_RWAIT bit in the msgsnd and wakes up all the processes sleeping on the message queue. Also, if a process sleeping in msgrcv() gets interrupted, SLS ptf7645b clears the bit and signals all the processes waiting on the message queue to retry.

SLS ptf7640a: vxslicer Supplement

For: UnixWare 7.1.0, and 7.1.1 Date posted: 25-SEP-01

Description: This SLS addresses the following problem:

1. The root disk cannot be encapsulated due to a gap between dump and swap. The gap is created during a previous attempt to encapsulate the root drive, and results from the use of swap as a temporary working area during encapsulation. If the swap is large enough, the end track lies beyond the 2GB limit from the start of the encapsulation area. Since vxslicer is not large file capable, this can result in transfer errors.

2. Replacing a failed root disk mirror via vxdiskadm does not make it bootable.

SLS ptf7629a: Symbios 53c8xx PCI SCSI HBA Supplement

For: UnixWare 7.1.1 Date posted: 31-JUL-00

Description: This SLS addresses these problems for UnixWare 7.1.1:

1. The timeout value received from the OS for each command is now in seconds, rather than in milliseconds. This required removal of a divide by 1000, since the driver times out commands based upon a seconds value. 2. A small routine, c8xx_continueq, was removed due to it being identical to routine c8xx_resumeq. All calls to c8xx_continueq were changed to c8xx_resumeq. 3. During initialization, device scan was changed from polling for command completion to using callback routines. 4. Changes were made to properly detect and access Non-Volatile Storage (NVS) without having to loop through the resmgr entries. The driver now generates a resmgr entry for the NVS physical address, so that the virtual address can be mapped, the NVS data retrieved, and then the resmgr entry that was generated, deleted. This is done only once for each host adapter during initialization. The data is saved for future access.

SLS ptf7607e: libc Supplement

For: UnixWare 7.1.1 Date posted: 06-NOV-00

Description: This SLS corrects all of the problems listed below. SLS ptf7607a addressed this issue: 1. Previously, the Unix98 pty support routines could not allow more than 999 ptys to be allocated by a user process. The pt.c functions have been enhanced to support up to 99999 ptys. SLS ptf7607c included the ability to do a quiet install, and addressed these issues: 2. When logging into accounts that are configured with "Force the user to change the password at the next login", a login to these accounts was not possible if the ttymon were configured with PPP support (-P option to ttyadm). 3. A ksh93 pattern expansion bug existed. 4. Incoming baud rates of 115KB were not being handled correctly by ttymon. 5. ecvt, ecvtl, fcvt and gcvt had rounding errors in libc. SLS ptf7607d addressed this issue: 6. select(3) can return 0 on a blocking call if poll(2) reports POLLHUP and rd/wr fdsets are not set. SLS ptf7607e additionally addresses these issues: 7. Installation of Oracle 8i (8.1.6) can fail (core dump) when set71101g, the SCO UnixWare Maintenance Set, or the standalone SLS ptf7607d, (which is included in set71101g) is installed on the system. Also, in a post Oracle 8i (8.1.6) installation environment, Oracle processes can core dump. 8. A UNIX 95 Test failure introduced by the (e,f,g)cvt() in ptf7607b existed.

SLS ptf7448a: ipc Driver Supplement

For: UnixWare 7.1.0 Date posted: 01-SEP-00

Description: The ipcs utility prints information about active inter-process communication (IPC) facilities. IPC mechanisms in UnixWare are message queues, semaphores and shared-memory segments.

Support Level Supplement (SLS) ptf7448a, the UnixWare 7.1.0 ipc Driver Supplement, addresses the following problem:

ipcs -qa sets the message queue to R, but once msgrcv is completed, the flag is not reset. Thus, ipcs -qa may not show a true representation of the message queues.

msgrcv() sets the MSG_RWAIT flag when a message receiver waits for a message. However, the driver never clears this flag. SLS ptf7448a clears the MSG_RWAIT bit in the msgsnd and wakes up all the processes sleeping on the message queue. Also, if a process sleeping in msgrcv() gets interrupted, SLS ptf7448a clears the bit and signals all the processes waiting on the message queue to retry.

SLS ptf7441e: libmas Supplement

For: UnixWare 7.1.1 Date posted: 03-OCT-00

Description:

This SLS the libmas supplement, contains modifications to the libmas library. It now uses strerror() rather than sys_nerr/sys_errlist.

SLS ptf7441e addresses this problem:

libmas.so used the obsolete sys_nerr/sys_errlist mechanism rather than the modern and internationalized strerror(). sys_nerr/sys_errlist is only defined in the archive part of libc (/usr/ccs/lib/libc.so) and not in the dynamic part of libc (/usr/lib/libc.so.1).

As a result it is not visible to dynamic libraries that have been dlopen'd, which is the case with Java native methods.

Note: This supplement has been superseded by the UnixWare 7.1.1 Maintenance Pack


SLS ptf7440a: ReliantHA MSW Supplement

For: UnixWare 7.0.0 - 7.1.1 Date posted: 03-DEC-99

Description: This SLS corrects the problem of the MSW system failing to de-initialize correctly, which can result in a machine hang during shutdown.

The problem is caused by improper de-allocation of resources within the MSW subsystem. The machine hang will only occur if the MSW/SDL drivers have been configured.

With SLS ptf7440a, the two binaries have been modified to de-configure the MSW and SDL drivers. A new -d option has been added to sdlconfig. The mswconfig changes employ the existing -u option to de-configure correctly. A new rc script, K67msw, is provided to the de-configured MSW upon each machine shutdown.

For: UnixWare 7.1.0 Date posted: 14-AUG-00

Description: This SLS addresses all of the issues listed below.

1. Some actions can consume the whole of memory, forcing the system to start swapping. 2. The ls command locks on memfs. 3. A security issue in the usage of /tmp involving linking or symbolic linking of well-known temporary filenames to critical system files is fixed. The fix is implemented as additional restrictions on link, rename (mv) and symbolic linking on directories that have the sticky bit set. 4. VxFS caused a kma paranoid panic due to not checking for vnode softcounts before kmem_free()ing the vx_biginode. 5. Incorrect KMA buffer references occur after kernel memory has been freed in memfs. 6. A problem was found in the vx_rename1() routine of the VxFS driver that caused a kernel panic. 7. Unmounting a vxfs snapshot volume fails to update the volume status, preventing removal of that volume. 8. The kernel panics when trying to create a vxfs snapshot in which either target or destination device (or both) is a disk slice (and not an ODM volume).

SLS ptf7425b: UnixWare Install Supplement

For: UnixWare 7.1.0 Date posted: 16-JUL-99

Description: This SLS provides fixed drivers that are required during installation on certain systems.

SLS ptf7425b corrects these problems: 1. If an HBA driver uses a maximum transfer size that is less than 128KB, the installation will fail (for example, an IBM "ips" driver supporting the IBM ServeRAID HBA). Note: SLSs ptf7406b (or later), the UnixWare 7.1.0 Pentium II and Pentium III Supplement, and ptf7413e (or later), the UnixWare 7.1.0 VM Subsystem Supplement, are additionally required to resolve this issue. 2. A memory address conflict between a device and the "pcic" memory address range of d0000 to dffff results in a red screen at the end of system installation. This screen reports the memory conflict and the failure of the kernel relink. 3. The Symbios C8xx driver incorrectly loads on port 1 of the Compaq 64-Bit Dual Channel Wide Ultra2 SCSI controller. Note: SLS ptf7428d is additionally required to resolve this issue. Note that for SLS ptf7428d to be effective, the Compaq system ROM must include support for the Ultra2 SCSI controller, so that it will be properly initialized with a differentiating signature and correctly excluded by the c8xx driver. If needed, the latest system ROM can be downloaded in the form of a ROMPaq from the Compaq web site. Additionally fixed in SLS ptf7425b: 4. Installing a system with a Mylex HBA using ptf7425a aborts. 5. A page fault PANIC results when trying to boot UnixWare 7.1.0 on some Intel machines. Note: SLS ptf7428d is additionally required to resolve these two issues.

For: UnixWare 7.1.0 Date posted: 22-JUN-00

Description: This SLS contains modifications to address all of the issues included below.

1. The BIOS disk geometry for a second disk is ignored and always set to 64 heads and 32 sectors. To demonstrate this: - Find the parameters for the second disk from the boot prompt using 'show HDPARM1'. - Add the second disk using diskadd(1M). - Display the disk parameters using 'prtvtoc -p /dev/rdsk/...'. Note that the parameters displayed are different from those displayed at boot. 2. It is not possible to read or make filesystems on hard disks, or optical disks, with a sector size greater than 512 bytes. 3. A potential kernel address fault in sd01 is fixed. SLS ptf7421c applies to all supported disk drive types (such as SCSI, IDE, as well as others).

SLS ptf7420c: ktli and nfs Drivers Supplement

For: UnixWare 7.1.0 Date posted: 21-OCT-99

Description: This SLS addresses these issues:

1. A threaded application that uses NFS can experience functions failing unexpectedly with EINTR. In this case, truss will show the system call failing with ERESTART. A new /etc/conf/pack.d/ktli/space.c tunable is provided by ptf7420: int ktli_sig_ignore[] = { SIGWAITING, 0 }; 'ktli_sig_ignore' is a list of signals that, when mounted with '-o intr', are prevented from interrupting an NFS transaction. If ktli_sig_ignore[0] is 0, then all current enabled signals are allowed to interrupt the NFS transaction. 2. A program that is being run from an NFS-mounted directory can core dump due to receiving a SIGBUS signal. A new /etc/conf/pack.d/nfs/space.c tunable is provided by ptf7420c: /* * Disable signals during fault handling. */ int nfs_max_gp_retry_time = 0; A non-zero setting will act as a retry time (in seconds) that will be used when trying to fault in a page across NFS, if the original attempt was interrupted by a signal. As a default, SLS ptf7420c will set this retry time to two seconds. SLS ptf7420c will tune RECVRETRIES by checking the current value and increasing it to four if appropriate. (In the previous version of this SLS, this step required manual tuning.) If core dumps persist, it may then be necessary to manually increase the value: /etc/conf/bin/idtune RECVRETRIES 5 3. SLS ptf7420c addresses an installation problem found with ptf7420b that some users may have experienced.

SLS ptf7418c: mpio, sysdump and sd01 Driver Update

For: UnixWare 7.1.0 Date posted: 30-JUN-00

Description: This SLS addresses all of the following problems.

1. The system hangs during failover testing. 2. sd01Reserve in sd01.c reserves the wrong disk. 3. The system hangs during MPIO dual path failover test. 4. The system hangs while attempting a system dump on UnixWare 7.1.0. 5. Building KMA_PARANOID results in data corruption in SDI and sd0. (SLS ptf7419c or later is also needed for a complete solution to this problem). 6. A memory leak occurs related to vtoc open. 7. Emergency recovery disks cannot be created after ptf7036c is applied. 8. sd01strat1() does not recognize retry code. Therefore, if an HBA fails to assign memory, sdi_xtranslate() returns SDI_RET_RETRY and can cause a system hang. 9. sd01getalts() was amended to prevent kernel memory abuse.

SLS ptf7411b: passwd Display Patch

For: UnixWare 7.1.0 Date posted: 22-DEC-99

Description: This SLS addresses a problem where passwd -sa displays incorrect information about the status of passwords. For example, passwd -sa may list users as locked (LK) when they are unlocked.

SLS ptf7411b also provides a new passwd binary to address a problem with ttymon when logging into accounts that are configured with "Force the user to change the password at the next login". A login to these accounts is not possible if the ttymon is configured with PPP support (-P option to ttyadm). For example, this message will repeatedly occur:

Welcome to UnixWare 7.1.0 The system's name is BLUTACK. login: test UX:login: ERROR: You don't have a password. UX:login: TO FIX: Choose one. UX:passwd: ERR: Sorry

SLS ptf7410j: libthread Supplement

For: UnixWare 7.1.1

Date posted: 18-FEB-03

Description: This SLS contains modifications to several issues. See the cover letter for complete details.

NOTE: ptf7410j has been removed and is superseded by UnixWare 7.1.1 Maintenance Pack 5


SLS ptf7408e: Security Fix

For: UnixWare 7.1.0 Date posted: 17-DEC-99

Description: This SLS addressed these issues:

1. Unnecessary privileges are given to some packaging commands that allow users to compromise system security by adding or removing privileged files. 2. Users can use packaging tools to read restricted system files. 3. Users can create arbitrary root owned directories. 4. A potential buffer overflow attack exists. 5. Slow booting occurs on systems where disks and other devices share the same controller. 6. sdighost -r does not remove ghosts permanently. 7. The checking of incompatibility definitions specified in 'depend' files was previously performed only for the package being installed. This SLS extends this process to include re-checking of the 'depend' definitions for packages already installed on the system. Any packages declaring an incompatibility with the package being installed will cause the installation to be terminated. These changes in "checking flags" are included: - Added the 'S' flag (Supersedes) to support superseding packages. - Added the 'X' flag (eXcludes) to support genuinely incompatible packages. That is, the presence of a package declaring this flag will prevent the corresponding package being installed, regardless of the dependencies specified in that package. The 'X' flag allows new incompatibilities with released packages to be managed effectively. - Restored the original 'I' flag behaviors for packages other than PTFs. 8. After installing SLS ptf7408b or ptf7408c, it is no longer possible to install packages from tape devices. Errors similar to this may be displayed from a command such as pkgadd -d /dev/rmt/ctape1: UX:pkginstall: ERROR: attempt to process package fromfailed - process/dev/null> failed, exit code 3 UX:pkginstall: ERROR: unable to unpack datastream 9. sdighost -r [see sdighost(1M)] does not permanently remove the names of disks in the sdi database that do not correspond to any physical disks on the system ('phantom' disks). This is achieved by removing unwanted "vtoc" entries from the resmgr database and updating the configuration regardless of whether there are any ghost disks or not.

SLS ptf7407c: crash Utility Supplement

For: UnixWare 7.0.0 - 7.1.1 Date posted: 04-AUG-00

Description: This SLS addresses all of the issues listed below.

SLS ptf7407a addressed this issue: 1. crash commands are easily mistyped, and had to be retyped in full. The crash provided in ptf7407a supports command line editing, using a history of previous crash commands, in the same manner as Korn shell ksh. The history of the previous 128 commands is kept in memory. There is no crash history file, so commands are not remembered from one invocation to another. The editor allows the user to step or search through previous commands, but there is no "history" command, no "r" command to repeat the last, and the commands are not numbered. By default, the simulated editor is "vi". If the environment variable VISUAL or EDITOR is set to the pathname of editor "emacs" or "gmacs", then that editor is simulated instead. If the environment variable VISUAL or EDITOR is set to "none", then command line editing is disabled. SLS ptf7407b addressed these issues: 2. Different releases of UnixWare 7 each have required a different version of the crash utility. Virtual Memory Supplements ptf7016 (for UnixWare 7) and ptf7096 (for UnixWare 7.0.1) have required further variants of the crash utility. The In-Kernel Sockets Supplement, ptf7401 (for UnixWare 7.1.0), and the Pentium II and III Supplement, ptf7406 (for UnixWare 7.1.0), should be accompanied by enhancements to the crash utility in order to note sockets in "stream -f", to disassemble new instructions in "dis". SLS ptf7407b supported all those releases and supplements with a single version of /usr/sbin/crash, which may be reliably used on any of those systems, and can be used to examine dumpfiles from any of those systems. 3. The crash command "callout" (show callout table) was added in UnixWare 7.1.0. SLS ptf7407b made it available for use on earlier releases of UnixWare 7. The crash command "kmahist" (kernel memory allocator history) is also available but this command is only useful on specially instrumented kernels, not on the standard releases. crash command "check" (used for kernel text corruption) was added in SLS ptf7407b. 4. Installation of osmp after update701 or update710, which left the system with the wrong (UnixWare 7) version of crash even when the update was correctly reapplied, was corrected. 5. Problems were addressed with several crash commands. In particular, the "resmgr" command did not show beyond KEY 15. SLS ptf7407c additionally addresses these issues: 6. The crash command "page pageaddr" problem was corrected. This command used to give memory faults on the aforementioned syntax. Also "od -fpage" was fixed, which did not allow for 24-bitfields. The abbreviation "-fstruct:field--" is added to mean "-fstruct:field-field". 7. Display of "dispq" under ccNUMA was corrected; there are now certain extra headers while displaying the "dispq"s. Only those "dispq"s that have one or more lwps to run are displayed. The lwp addresses shown are obscure but more intelligible than before. 8. Certain Memory and page-related problems were fixed. Among them is the "as" command. It now shows the address space pointer "ASP" in place of the incorrect "WSS". The "kvmstat" command script was added. 9. Certain problems in determining cdfs inodes were corrected. The problems corresponding to the "inode" and "sinode" commands were fixed. Size is included in non-full info; sfs full info shows ufs-like full info. The "proc" command was enhanced to allow "paul_fld" argument. Fur blocklog_ symname and bswap fixes were also incorporated. Fixes to update the default information for process context when a user provides the input were also done.

Note: This supplement has been superseded by the UnixWare 7.1.1 Maintenance Pack for UnixWare 7.1.1 only

For: UnixWare 7.0.1 Date posted: 07-APR-00

Description: This SLS addresses the following problems:

1. The 'TCSETAW' ioctl hangs if an XOFF character has been received on the serial port. The hang occurs if an XOFF character is received as the last data is being SENT. If an unanswered XOFF is received (an XON is not received) just before the ioctl (fd, TCSETAW, &term) command is issued, the TCSETAW function will never complete.

2. When accessing a standard COM1 onboard serial port at greater than 19200 baud, a loss of characters can be seen. This has been seen with both hardware flow control and software flow control enabled.

For: UnixWare 7.0.0, 7.0.1 and 7.1.1 Date posted: 08-MAR-00

Description: This SLS addresses the following problems:

1. A client/server program that uses socketpair(3) and uses this to write/read data and do I_SENDFD/I_RECVFD, can fail with EINVAL on read.

2. There is a problem in UnixWare 7.0.0 and 7.0.1 where data loss may occur if a unix domain socket is closed while there is still data in transit. With SLS ptf7080c installed, closure of the socket will be blocked until all the data has been transmitted.

Note: This supplement has been superseded by the UnixWare 7.1.1 Maintenance Pack for UnixWare 7.1.1 only

SLS ptf7074e: st01, sc01, and mc01 Driver Supplement

For: UnixWare 7.0.0 w/ UnixWare 7 Release Supplement installed UnixWare 7.0.1 Date posted: 27-DEC-99

Description: This SLS addresses these issues: 1. Resolves a panic when the tape device is used in variable length block mode. The problem was seen to occur with Legato Networker Backup software due to Legato using variable length blocks to a specific tape device. The panic could also be reproduced by using tar to one of these tape devices with variable blocking enabled. The Panther tape library related to this issue is a Robotic tape library unit that uses DLT tape units. The actual make was a Storagetek 9710/30 with four DLT7000 drives. The drive was connected via a Qlogic HBA. 2. If the tape driver is interrupted then it is possible to be locked out of the tape driver forever (the device is reported as being busy). When a command, such as 'cpio -itvI /dev/rmt/ctape1' was aborted by pressing DEL or CTRL C, the tape device then refused to respond any further with 'device busy' on st01open(). As a temporary workaround, 'modadmin -U st01' restored the device to normal working operation. 3. Tape command timeouts were not configurable. Support for the pdi_timeout interface has been added. This is now configurable via the Space.c file. 4. Reading DAT tapes with block sizes other than those with which they were written can lead to incorrect data being returned. The problem was originally found when trying to restore data using Legato, using 128k blocks. The root issue was found to be related to st01 and the handling of residual data (resulting from the read of only part of a larger tape block). This area of code has been changed to give consistent behavior under such conditions. 5. Removed potential of target drivers causing kma corruption. st01 (tape) sc01 (cdrom) mc01 (medium changer) are all replaced with this SLS. Equivalent fixes for sd01 (disk) will be supplied in ptf7002j (or greater) for UnixWare 7.0.0 and in ptf7036e (or greater) for UnixWare 7.0.1. 6. SLS ptf7074 supersedes ptf7059a and therefore incorporates the mc01 driver fix supplied by ptf7059a. This corrects an error that may be encountered when attempting to load a tape into a DLT library. The error message is similar to: UX: mccntl: ERROR: MC_MOVE_MEDIUM failed on device /dev/mc/mc1 WARNING: Medium Changer Driver: HA 4 TC 6 LU 0 - CHECK CONDITION unix: A "ILLEGAL REQUEST" condition has been detected unix: Additional data = "INVALID FIELD IN CDB" 7. tapecntl -c n /dev/rmt/ntape1 (where n is 0 to 3) does not control compression.

SLS ptf7073c: UnixWare passwd and login Supplement

For: UnixWare 7.0.0, 7.0.1 Date posted: 01-MAY-00

Description: This SLS resolves the following problems:

1. With SLS ptf7073c, passwd(1) is not vulnerable to a known buffer overflow. Previously, when a long command line argument was selected, it could overrun buffers because of a lack of bounds checking. 2. Addresses a security vulnerability in the localization code in libc. Note: For the complete resolution to this problem, the libc SLS for the specific UnixWare 7 release also needs to be installed on the system: For UnixWare 7.0.0 - SLS ptf7003i For UnixWare 7.0.1 - SLS ptf7051f 3. passwd -sa can display incorrect information about the status of passwords. For example, passwd -sa may list users as locked (LK) when they are unlocked. New to SLS ptf7073c: 4. When logging into accounts, which are configured with "Force the user to change the password at the next login", a login to these accounts is not possible if the ttymon is configured with PPP support (-P option to ttyadm).

SLS ptf7053d: UnixWare 7 netcfg & Serial Manager Patch

For: UnixWare 7.0.1 Date posted: 14-OCT-99

Description: This SLS provides solutions for all of the problems listed below. These problems were also addressed by previous versions of ptf7053: 1. Changing views occasionally hangs - this has been fixed. Serial Manager no longer sets the PPP flag for modems. 2. netcfg failed to check that query scripts existed before attempting to execute them. This could result in one or more of the following error messages: NETCFG(SendRequest) Backend script error Network Configuration Manager error exit code 134 Error on trying to run scoadmin from the gui, console: Error netcfg already running 3. A mechanism is provided for third-party serial ports to use different device nodes than those previously enforced by the Serial Manager. This requires thatthe vendor supply a Stanza file as part of their driver installation. SLS ptf7053d addresses this additional problem: 4. Unconfiguring the network adapter that is assigned to the system nodename would result in removal of the /etc/hosts entry for the nodename. This may result in a variety of symptoms, such as error pop-up windows when starting CDE.

SLS ptf7051f: UnixWare 7.0.1 libc Patch

For: UnixWare 7.0.1 Date posted: 01-MAY-00

Description: This SLS corrects these known problems with the libc library on UnixWare 7.0.1: 1. Certain functions are not available in the dynamic version of libc, and this prevents an application's own shared libraries from using these functions. SLS ptf7051f moves the following functions into the dynamic version of libc: ecvt, fcvt, fstat32, fstat64, lstat32, lstat64, stat32, stat64, and syscall. 2. The JDK java.net.Socket constructor does not throw an exception when the socket connection fails under certain conditions. Note: This SLS only partially addresses problem #2 above. If you are using SCO JDK 1.1.3w, you also need ptf7096 (STREAMS). If you are using SCO JDK 1.1.3u, you need ptf7096 (STREAMS) and ptf7122b (JDK). To verify which version of the JDK you have, run "pkginfo -l jdk113" and look at the VERSION field in the output. The latest version of the JDK can be downloaded from: http://www.sco.com/java A fix for problem #2 also exists for SCO UnixWare 2.1.3 in SLS ptf4026d. 3. The select function does not support more than 64 sockets. An attempt to use more than 64 sockets in a call to select returns with an EBADF error. This symptom may manifest itself in different ways, depending on the application. For example, while running a RealNetworks Internet Server the following behavior may be encountered: - All client connections are dropped once a threshold has been reached, usually around 60-70 connections. - An unexpected limitation of the number of clients that can connect may be reached. In some cases the more recent connections may appear to hang. Symptoms similar to the ones listed may be addressed by SLS ptf7051f. 4. A "bad file number" error message may be returned by select after the descriptor is closed. This has been corrected through modifications to select(3C). select(3C) will now only send an exception if one is requested. New in SLS ptf7051f: 5. The pt.c functions have been enhanced to support up to 99999 ptys. Previously, the Unix98 pty support routines could not allow more than 999 ptys to be allocated by a user process. 6. SLS ptf7051f addresses a security vulnerability in the localization code in libc. Note: SLS ptf7073c must also be installed for a complete solution to this issue.

SLS ptf7010d: UnixWare 7 networking inet driver

For: UnixWare 7.0.0 with UnixWare 7 Release Supplement installed Date posted: 10-JAN-00

Description: This SLS addresses these issues:

1. Heavy activity on a web server (Netscape or Apache) can cause the server process to hang. This SLS corrects the handling of incoming TCP connections. 2. A streams leak in the tcp driver which could result in process hangs was fixed. 3. Enhancement to provide gratuitous arp functionality (-i option). For complete support of gratuitous arp, ptf7084a must also be installed. The documentation for this new option is provided: arp(1Mtcp) -i interface_name target_ipaddr Send an ARP request, avoiding the cache, on the specified interface interface_name (for example, net0). In the broadcast request, the sender's IP address is that of the interface, the sender's hardware address (MAC address) is that of the interface, and the target IP address is that specified by target_ipaddr. On interfaces with aliased IP addresses (see ifconfig(1Mtcp)), a separate ARP request is broadcast for each alias address with the sender's IP address set to the alias address. As generally used, the sender expects the host with the target IP address to respond with an ARP reply containing its hardware address. If the sender and target IP addresses are identical, a gratuitous ARP request is broadcast. This allows other hosts on the network to update their cache entries for the sender's IP address with the hardware address contained in the request. No reply is expected. If an interface has been configured with several alias IP addresses, a separate gratuitous ARP request must be issued for each IP address which needs to notify its corresponding hardware address to the network.
