Problem Description: 

   1140162 Several programs, as originally shipped, could be exploited in an
           obscure way to gain root access.

   1063519 (Patch 100593-02) If a level 0 dump is performed with the achive
           file option (a) then a 'restore ta' will work just fine. If the
           dump is an incremental or partial dump, then restore fails with
                   'Cannot find file removal list'
           and restore terminates.

Patch Installation Instructions: 

   1) Login as root.

   2) Make a backup copy of the old file (if you have installed any of the
      earlier patch revisions, you may wish to save under another name):
	mv /usr/etc/dump /usr/etc/dump.fcs

   3) Change the permissions on the saved file to prevent its execution:
	chmod 400 /usr/etc/dump.fcs

   4) Copy in the patched file:
	cp `uname -m`/`uname -r`/dump /usr/etc/dump

   5) Set ownership & permissions:
	chown root /usr/etc/dump
	chgrp tty /usr/etc/dump
	chmod 6755 /usr/etc/dump
