================================================= Maintenance for IBM Connect:Direct for UNIX 6.1.0 ================================================= This maintenance archive includes module replacements for the C:D UNIX 6.1.0 code base. It is applicable to C:D UNIX version 6.1.0, and contains all the new functionality and fixes as described in the C:D UNIX 6.1.0 Release notes, as well as fixes for the issues listed below. This release implements IBM's standard V.R.M.F method of identifying software. V, R, M and F are Version, Release, Modification and Fix Pack respectively. In general, V.R.M imply new functionality, while F is an accumulation of fixes called a Fix Pack. The term Fix Pack will be used going forward in place of Cumulative Maintenance. Individual fixes also have a new name, Interim Fixes, or iFixes for short. iFixes are numbered sequentially from one starting with any increment to V, R, M or F. Please see IBM's website for further details regarding this methodology. After applying the maintenance, the CLI banner will report that your C:D version is 6.1.0.x, where x is the current Fix Pack. It will also display the date that the maintenance was created. For more information, please refer to the C:D UNIX 6.1.0 Release Notes. NOTICE: Beginning with iFix 6.1.0.4.iFix082 below, security updates will be described as either affected or vulnerable, based on the following definitions from IBM: Affected: The software product contains code which has a documented vulnerability. Based on currently available information, however, we believe that the issue is likely not exploitable. However, as a best practice and from an abundance of caution, we recommend customers update their systems as soon as practical. Vulnerabilities evolve, and a means of exploiting any issue may emerge at any time. Vulnerable: The software product contains code, which has a documented vulnerability. Our analysis shows that the issue may be exploitable. Issues classified as affected will not be published in security bulletins, in most cases. ================================================= iFixes listed below apply to C:D for UNIX 6.1.0.0 ================================================= 001) MFT-10783 / APAR IT31279 commit date: 05 May 2020 -------------------------------------------------------- Silent upgrade fails when traces are disabled. 002) CDUA-1801 commit date: 11 May 2020 ----------------------------------------- On RHEL 8 and SLES 15 systems, cdinstall_a execution may fail indicating an error loading shared libraries referring to libtirpc.so.1.

Note: User will have to take care of the following restriction on HP-UX. On HP-UX, a setuid executable(CD server in this case), when executed by a non-root user cannot load libraries(GSKit in this case) from any path other than standard system paths. Please refer to "man dld.so" on HP-UX for more details. A compatible GSKit is shipped with CDU and gets installed at a non-standard system path. CDserver will need help form the root user to load the compatible GSKit libraries: 1. Create(if not exists) /etc/dld.sl.conf and make it writable by root ONLY. 2. /etc/dld.sl.conf must contain a ":" separated list of following paths: i) ${ndm.path}/ndm/lib/gsk/lib64/ ii) ${ndm.path}/ndm/lib/ 3.

See the Known Restrictions page of the CDU Release Notes for more details. The Known Restrictions page also describes a symbolic link which may be created to enable execution of CDU binaries from directories other than ndm/bin. If implementation of this link was desired, it had to be created manually. This fix updates the interactive and automated installation scripts to provide an option for creating this link during installs and upgrades. The interactive installation script, cdinstall, will prompt for the option if the link is not detected. A new parameter, cdai_tirpcCreateLink, has been added to the automated installation script, cdinstall_a, which takes a 'y' or 'n' value to optionally create this link. 015) CDUA-2043 / APAR IT37922 commit date: 12 Aug 2021 -------------------------------------------------------- A copy step using zFBA may fail and report message SCZF004E, Could not Open zFBA devices.

If CDU is snode and one or more of the matching files is unable to be opened, the pnode does not get notified about these files and will consider the copy step to be successful. To fix this issue, when CDU is snode, one matching file that is not readable is allowed to be added to the list of files to be sent, so that one of the individual copy steps will fail, giving the pnode awareness of the situation. For security, snode masks the name of the unreadable matching file before sending the failing step information to pnode. 039) MFT-12710 / APAR IT39420 commit date: 12 Jan 2022 -------------------------------------------------------- On HP-UX Itanium systems using a shadow password file, client connections presenting valid credentials may fail, generating an XCMM038I message.
