Is Your Homestead Secure? - Solution Symposium West
MPE security beyond 2006 – open source
bugs
• Internet hackers will continue to find bugs in the open
source products which are bundled into MPE
– Apache, BIND, Samba, Sendmail
• Most of these bugs tend to be of the buffer overflow /
code execution variety, which at most will cause a
process abort on MPE without executing any hacker
code
• HP will no longer be providing updated open source
binaries for MPE
• If these products are critical for your homesteading
environment, you should invest in learning some Unix to
MPE porting skills so you can update the products
yourself (it's not that difficult!)
