Descripción

The Fix Level Recommendation Tool Vulnerability Checker Script (FLRTVC) is a ksh script which uses data from the IBM website to compare the installed filesets and interim fixes on the system against known vulnerabilities and HIPER (High Impact PERvasive) issues. Unpatched software can expose systems to known vulnerabilities that may be exploited by attackers. It is recommended that operating system updates be performed on enterprise assets through automated patch management on a monthly, or more frequent, basis.
