Error description

  • Reported Release:  6.30 FP7 SP13
    Environment:  UNIX OS Agent:  ITM 6.30 FP7 SP13
    
    
    The Monitoring Agent for UNIX OS 6.30 FP7 SP13 introduced a
    new feature to be able to monitor log files.  A file,
    $CANDLEHOME/<interp>/lz/lib/libkfossh-gsk8.a, was inadvertently
    added.
    
    This secureMain does not lock down this directory as it is "lz"
    instead of "ux".
    

Local fix

  • The file and directory lz/lib/libkfossh-gsk8.<a|so|vs sl> under
    $CANDLEHOME/<interp> can be deleted as the file is not needed.
