HP OpenView Network Node Manager Multiple CGI Buffer Overflows
------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

Vulnerabilities in HP OpenView Network Node Manager (NNM) allow remote
attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations.
Authentication is not required to exploit these vulnerabilities.

DETAILS

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.
