CVE-2007-3795
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedUnspecified vulnerability in Hitachi TP1/Server Base before 03-05-/P, 05-00-x before 05-00-/G, 05-01-x before 05-01-/A, and 05-02-x before 05-02-/C on HP-UX 11.0 through 11i v3 allows attackers to cause a denial of service by sending certain data to a port.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceHitachi TP1/Server Base on HP-UX 11.0 through 11i v3 contains an unspecified vulnerability that allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by sending specially crafted data to a specific port. The vulnerability affects multiple version branches (03-05-x, 05-00-x, 05-01-x, 05-02-x) prior to their respective security patch releases.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify HP-UX versionRun 'uname -a' or 'swlist -l product HP-UX' to confirm the system is HP-UX 11.0 through 11i v3Affected if System is running HP-UX outside the 11.0 to 11i v3 range (not affected)
-
Check if Hitachi TP1/Server Base is installedRun 'swlist -l product | grep -i tpi' or 'swlist -l product | grep -i serverbase' to identify if Hitachi TP1/Server Base is presentAffected if Hitachi TP1/Server Base is not installed (not affected)
-
Identify installed Hitachi TP1/Server Base versionRun 'swlist -l product <product_name>' substituting the product name found in the previous step, or check /var/adm/sw/products for the installed version stringAffected if Version matches one of the vulnerable versions: 03_03_d, 03_04_j, 03_05_f, 03_05_o, 05_00, 05_00_f, 05_01, 05_02, or 05_02_b
-
Verify the service is running and exposedCheck if the Hitachi TP1/Server Base service is actively running and bound to a network interface using 'netstat -an | grep <port>' or 'ps -ef | grep tpi' - the specific port should be determined based on the service configurationAffected if The service is not running or not network-exposed (lower risk)
-
Confirm no security patches appliedRun 'swlist -l patch | grep -i tpi' or check /var/adm/sw/patches for patches matching the version branch (03-05, 05-00, 05-01, or 05-02)Affected if No corresponding security patch (03-05-/P, 05-00-/G, 05-01-/A, or 05-02-/C) has been installed for the version branch
The environment is affected if running HP-UX 11.0-11i v3 with any installed Hitachi TP1/Server Base version matching 03_03_d, 03_04_j, 03_05_f, 03_05_o, 05_00, 05_00_f, 05_01, 05_02, or 05_02_b without the corresponding security patch applied.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply the vendor-supplied patches (03-05-/P, 05-00-/G, 05-01-/A, or 05-02-/C depending on version branch) to resolve the vulnerability. If patches are unavailable, consider network segmentation to limit exposure to the affected port.
