APP: HP OpenView Network Node Manager OvJavaLocale Buffer Overflow

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known buffer overflow vulnerability in HP OpenView Network Node Manager (NNM). This is due to a boundary error in the webappmon.exe CGI application when processing the OvJavaLocale cookie variable sent in a crafted HTTP request. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request to a target server, potentially causing arbitrary code to be injected and executed in the security context of the webappmon.exe process.

Extended Description

HP OpenView Network Node Manager is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability because the 'webappmon.exe' CGI application fails to adequately validate user-supplied input. Successful exploits can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the webserver. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions. OpenView Network Node Manager 7.51 and 7.53 are vulnerable.
