Re: upgrade to 5300-05

Antonio,

I believe the emergency fix was replaced by an APAR that is in
5300-05-01. So the emergency fix should not be needed if you install
SP1 or SP2.



To find missing packages on AIX systems, I use:

instfix -ic | grep :-:



To find incomplete MLs/TLs, I use:

instfix -i | grep ML



To check for missing APARs, for example IY88615, I use:

instfix -ik IY88615





To check for what is missing between 5300-05-01 and 5300-05-02:



for f in `awk '{print $1}'`

do

instfix -ik $f

done << EOF

IY87894 Security issue in X11.apps.clients

IY88614 Potential security issue in bos.net.uucp

IY88615 Potential security issue in bos.net.tcp.client

IY88616 Potential security issue in bos.mh

IY88617 Potential security issue in bos.net.uucp

IY88681 Security:Absolute path vulnerability in 'acctctl' command

IY88687 Potential security issue in bos.net.tcp.client

IY88699 Potential security issue in bos.rte.lvm

IY88724 Security issue in bos.rte.methods

IY89394 possible integer overflows in libfont

IY89434 Security vulnerability in bos.rte.methods

IY89500 Update chmod command documentation

EOF



The list of APARs is from IBM AIX fix central for 5300-05-02:
http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/abl/fixinfo?release=53&b=5300-
05-02





Also, the download tab at fix central for technology levels has an
option to include the output of "lslpp -Lc" from individual machines.

so, seems that for some instances i am upgraded to 5300-05-02 and for
some

(as result of oslevel -r and -s) i am not.



from the output of what is needed for 53005 it is missing the
csm.server.
