DESCRIPTION:
This SoftPaq is for Japanese products, and cannot be run in United States mode.
This softpaq contains the Windows NT 4.0 / Windows 2000 Compaq Power Management
Agents version 1.8B (Japanese).  This release is to fix a potential security issue
in the web-enabled portion of the agent. The vulnerability can allow an attacker to 
either crash the web-enabled portion of the agent or alternatively execute some 
introduced code at the access level of the web-based management process.

The only difference between version 1.8 and version 1.8B of the agents is 
CPQHMMO.DLL.  The version of CPQHMMO.DLL should be 2.2 or greater to resolve
this potential issue. The version number can be obtained by viewing the properties
of the .DLL in the Windows File Explorer.

Alternatively Softpaq SP14487 can be used to patch an existing system.  SP14487
can be obtained from ftp.compaq.com.  It is recommended that the patch in SP14487
be used regardless of your configuration to ensure that all web enabled agents
in other Compaq applications are updated to the most current CPQHMMO.DLL.
        
If you are running a version of Compaq Power Management less than 1.8, this softpaq
can also be used to upgrade to the most current version Compaq Power Management.
Note that if you upgrade to version 1.8 of the agents you should also upgrade
the management console application to version 1.8 as well.

Enhancements/Fixes: 
                  This release is to fix a potential security issue
                  in the web-enabled portion of the agent.
