Novell iManager 2.0.2 null pointer dereference

CVSS Meta Temp Score
CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.
Current Exploit Price (≈)
Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.
CTI Interest Score
Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Novell iManager 2.0.2. This affects some unknown processing. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-476. A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Multiple vulnerabilities in the OpenSSL ASN.1 parser, as used in Novell iManager 2.0.2, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via crafted packets, as demonstrated by "OpenSSL ASN.1 brute forcer." NOTE: this issue might overlap CVE-2004-0079, CVE-2004-0081, or CVE-2004-0112.

The bug was discovered 06/13/2005. The weakness was released 12/31/2005 by Stephen Henson with NISCC (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at vupen.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2005-1730 since 05/24/2005. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available.

A public exploit has been developed in ANSI C. The exploit is shared for download at securityfocus.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 14973 (Debian DSA-136-1 : openssl - multiple remote exploits), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Debian Local Security Checks and running in the context l. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 38224 (OpenSSL ASN.1 Parsing Vulnerabilities).

Upgrading eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published before and not just after the disclosure of the vulnerability. Furthermore it is possible to detect and prevent this kind of attack with TippingPoint and the filter 3490.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (20974), Tenable (14973), SecurityFocus (BID 8732†), OSVDB (3943†) and Secunia (SA15677†).
