Descriptions

Stack-based buffer overflow in the execvp_nc function in the ov.dll module in HP OpenView Network Node Manager (OV NNM) 7.51 and 7.53, when running on Windows, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long HTTP request to webappmon.exe.

Desbordamiento de búfer basado en pila en la función execvp_nc el módulo ov.dll en HP OpenView Network Node Manager (OV NNM) v7.51 y v7.53, ejecutado sobre Windows, permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección a través de una petición HTTP larga a webappmon.exe.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Hewlett-Packard OpenView Network Node Manager. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the ov.dll module which is loaded by the webappmon.exe CGI program. This DLL defines a function execvp_nc which unsafely concatenates a controllable command string into a statically allocated stack buffer. By supplying overly large values to variables passed through an HTTP request a strcat_new can be made to overflow this buffer. An attacker can leverage this to execute arbitrary code under the context of the user running the webserver.
