Title: Compaq Web-Based Management Agent Multiple Remote Vulnerabilities
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Web-Based Management Agent is the remote system management software package distributed by Compaq. It is available for the Microsoft Windows platform.
It may be possible for a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to a host using the vulnerable software.
The Compaq Web-Based Management Agent may permit an attacker to create one of the following scenarios:
Numerous stack overflows are reported to exist in the management agent. By passing one of several combinations of tags to the web server for server-side command interpreting, it is possible for an attacker to crash the agent, resulting in a denial of service. It is not clear whether or not these issues may be exploited to execute code with the privileges of the web server process.
Another reported issue appears to be a boundary condition error that may be exploitable. By supplying a request with a length of at least 250 bytes to the FunctionContentType function, it is possible to cause an "Access violation," which may be a memory corruption issue.
A final reported issue is the ability of a remote user to validate files on a system. By passing a maliciously crafted request to the DebugSearchPaths function, an attacker may be able to validate the existence of certain files on the system, potentially resulting in information disclosure.
This vulnerability alert is a preliminary analysis. These vulnerabilities will be broken into specific entries as more detailed analysis is performed.
