Title: HP OpenView Network Node Manager 'OVAS.EXE' Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Severity: CRITICAL
Description:
HP OpenView Network Node Manager is a fault-management application for IP networks.
Network Node Manager is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data.
The problem occurs in the 'OVAS.EXE' executable. When handling HTTP requests containing a specially formatted and excessively long URI, a buffer is overrun with attacker-supplied data.
Successfully exploiting these issues allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the Network Node Manager process. This facilitates the remote compromise of affected computers.
Network Node Manager 7.51 running on Microsoft Windows is affected by this issue; other versions and platforms may also be vulnerable.
Affected Products:
- HP OpenView Network Node Manager 7.01
- HP OpenView Network Node Manager 7.51
- HP OpenView Network Node Manager 7.53
