Veritas Software recommends users of its Cluster Server apply newly-available patches to plug a "serious" security hole an attacker could use to launch malicious code with root privileges.
"The potential for a serious system security breach has been found to exist in Veritas Cluster Server for Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, and Linux," the Mountain View, Calif.-based company said in an advisory. "This issue does not exist on any version [of the server] for Windows."
The company said the patches address the problem for Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, and Linux versions and that if users of Cluster Server 4.0 on Solaris have already applied MP1, the issue is already resolved.
