-- Vulnerability Details:

These vulnerabilities allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code

on vulnerable installations of Hewlett-Packard (HP) OpenView Network

Node Manager (NNM). Authentication is not required to exploit these

vulnerabilities.

The specific flaws exists within the CGI applications that handle the

management of the NNM server. Due to lack of bounds checking during a

call to sprintf(), sending overly long arguments to the various CGI

variables result in a classic stack overflow leading to compromise of

the remote server. Exploitation leads to code execution running under

the credentials of the web server. Further techniques can be leveraged

to gain full SYSTEM access.

The following is a list of vulnerable CGI applications:

- ovlogin.exe

- OpenView5.exe

- snmpviewer.exe

- webappmon.exe

-- Vendor Response:

Hewlett-Packard has issued an update to correct this vulnerability. More

details can be found in HP Security Bulletin Document ID c01188923.
