Re: TCP/IP HIPER PTF's - Security Exposure

["Bill" <brobins3d@xxxxxxxxx>]

Did anyone notice anything like this little ditty in SF67024? :

" NOTICE:
 -------
    Application of this PTF may disable or render ineffective programs that
    use system memory addresses not generated by the IBM translator,
    including programs that circumvent control technology designed to limit
    interactive capacity to purchased levels. This PTF may be a prerequisite
    for future PTFs. By applying this PTF you authorize and agree to the
    foregoing.   "
