Vulnerability Information

Severity: High
Vulnerability Published: 2005-08-25
Patch Published: N/A
CVE [?]: CVE-2005-2773
CPE [?]: cpe:/a:hp:openview_network_node_manager

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a CGI script that allows execution of arbitrary commands.

Description

The remote version of HP OpenView Network Node Manager fails to sanitize user-supplied input to various parameters used in the 'cdpView.ovpl', 'connectedNotes.ovpl', 'ecscmg.ovpl', and 'freeIPaddrs.ovpl' scripts before using it to run a command. By leveraging these flaws, an unauthenticated attacker may be able to execute arbitrary commands on the remote host within the context of the affected web server userid.

Solution

Apply the appropriate patch referenced in the vendor's advisory above.

Public Exploits

Target Network Port(s): 80, 3443
Target Asset(s): Services/www
