Vulnerability Information

Severity: High
Vulnerability Published: 2011-05-30
Patch Published: 2011-05-30
CVE [?]: CVE-2011-1220
CPE [?]: cpe:/a:ibm:tivoli_management_framework

Synopsis

A web server running on the remote host has a buffer overflow vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the Tivoli Endpoint installation running on the remote host is earlier than 4.1.1-LCF-0076 or 4.3.1-LCF-0012LA, and therefore has a buffer overflow vulnerability. Input to the 'opts' parameter of '/addr' is not properly validated. Authentication is required for exploitation, though this can be achieved trivially by using a built-in account.

A remote, authenticated attacker could exploit this by sending a malicious POST request to the server, resulting in arbitrary code execution.

Solution

Upgrade to Tivoli Endpoint 4.1.1-LCF-0076 / 4.3.1-LCF-0012LA or later. Alternatively, use the workaround described in the IBM advisory.

Public Exploits

Target Network Port(s): N/A
Target Asset(s): N/A
Exploit Available: True (Metasploit Framework, Exploit-DB, Immunity Canvas, Core Impact)
Exploit Ease: Exploits are available

Here's the list of publicly known exploits and PoCs for verifying the IBM Tivoli Management Framework Endpoint addr URL Remote Buffer Overflow vulnerability:

Metasploit: exploit/windows/http/ibm_tivoli_endpoint_bof
[IBM Tivoli Endpoint Manager POST Query Buffer Overflow]
Exploit-DB: exploits/windows/remote/17365.py
[EDB-17365: IBM Tivoli Endpoint 4.1.1 - Remote SYSTEM]
Exploit-DB: exploits/windows/remote/17392.rb
[EDB-17392: IBM Tivoli Endpoint Manager - POST Query Buffer Overflow (Metasploit)]
Immunity Canvas: White_Phosphorus

Before running any exploit against any system, make sure you are authorized by the owner of the target system(s) to perform such activity. In any other case, this would be considered as an illegal activity.

WARNING: Beware of using unverified exploits from sources such as GitHub or Exploit-DB. These exploits and PoCs could contain malware. For more information, see how to use exploits safely.
