III. PLATFORM VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT

    To determine if your system is vulnerable, execute the following
    command to obtain the NAS fileset level:

        lslpp -L krb5.client.rte
    	lslpp -L krb5.server.rte

    The following fileset levels are vulnerable:

    AIX 7.1, 6.1, 5.3: all NAS versions below 1.5.0.7 and 1.6.0.2 
    VIOS 2.X: all NAS versions below 1.5.0.7 and 1.6.0.2 

    Note: 
    - NAS 1.6.0.x is a separate release branch for NAS SPNEGO feature.
    - To find out whether the affected filesets are installed on your
      systems, refer to the lslpp command found in AIX user's guide.

IV. FIXES 

    A fix is available, and it can be downloaded from:

    https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/preLogin.do?source=aixbp

    If NAS SPNEGO feature is under use, then download NAS 1.6.0.2 version,
    else download NAS 1.5.0.7 version.

    To extract the fixes from the tar file:

    zcat NAS_1.X.0.X_aix_image.tar.Z | tar xvf -

    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 the fix installation:

    installp -apYd . krb5

    To install the fix package:

    installp -aXYd . krb5
 
V. WORKAROUNDS
 
    No workarounds.
