1.                  Patch Notification – MultiNet, TCPware, and PMDF
 

A potential security vulnerability has been discovered in MultiNet, TCPware, and PMDF on OpenVMS software that could allow a malicious user to execute arbitrary DCL commands with elevated system privileges.

This vulnerability affects MultiNet 4.1 through 4.4, TCPware v5.4 through v5.6, and PMDF v6.0 through v6.2 on OpenVMS.  

Process Software is not aware of any cases in which this vulnerability has been exploited. However, we strongly recommend installing the appropriate ECO or patch kit to eliminate the vulnerability. 

Patches can be accessed at: http://www.process.com under News (http://www.process.com./mandatorypatch.html).
