4) Description of Vulnerability
Secunia Research has discovered vulnerabilities in HP OpenView Network
Node Manager, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise
a vulnerable system.
1) Various boundary errors in the OpenView5.exe CGI application when
processing parameters can be exploited to cause stack-based buffer
overflows via HTTP requests to the CGI application with overly long
parameter strings.
2) A boundary error in ov.dll can be exploited to cause a stack-based
buffer overflow by e.g. sending a HTTP request to the OpenView5.exe
CGI application with an overly long parameter string.
3) A boundary error in the getcvdata.exe CGI application can be
exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a HTTP
request to the CGI application with an overly long parameter string.
4) A boundary error in the ovlaunch.exe CGI application can be
exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a HTTP
request to the CGI application with an overly long parameter string.
5) A boundary error in the Toolbar.exe CGI application can be
exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a HTTP
request to the CGI application with an overly long parameter string.
6) A boundary error in the Toolbar.exe CGI application can be
exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a HTTP
request to the CGI application with an overly long parameter string.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities allows execution of
arbitrary code.
======================================================================
5) Solution
Restrict access to the affected CGI applications.
The vendor is reportedly working on fixes.
