Vulnerable Systems:
* HP OpenView version A.07.50 for Windows, with all patches applied as of Jun 27, 2007.
* (Previous versions may also be affected.)
The vulnerabilities exist within functions responsible for handling requests. These functions take a string from the request and copy it into fixed-size stack buffers. Since the length has not been properly validated, this results in an exploitable stack-based buffer overflow.
Exploitation of these vulnerabilities results in arbitrary code execution with SYSTEM privileges.
The OVTrace service, while not crucial to normal operations, is started by default. The OVTrace service is also present on systems that have only the management console installed as well as systems that have a full installation of the server and console installed.
Workaround:
Employing firewalls to limit access to the affected service will mitigate exposure to these vulnerabilities.
Vendor Status:
Hewlett-Packard Co. has addressed these vulnerabilities by releasing patches for all HP OpenView products that contain the Shared Trace Service component.
