Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in OpenPegasus Management server 3.0.1. It has been declared as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is some unknown processing of the component PAM Authentication. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Buffer overflow in OpenPegasus Management server, when compiled to use PAM and with PEGASUS_USE_PAM_STANDALONE_PROC defined, as used in VMWare ESX Server 3.0.1 and 3.0.2, might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to PAM authentication, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-0003.

The bug was discovered 01/07/2008. The weakness was disclosed 01/08/2008 (Website). The advisory is shared at secunia.com. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2007-5360 since 10/10/2007. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploitation doesn't need any form of authentication. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 1 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 32154 (HP-UX PHSS_37700 : HP-UX running WBEM Services, Remote Execution of Arbitrary Code, Gain Extended Privileges (HPSBMA02331 SSRT080000 rev.3)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family HP-UX Local Security Checks and running in the context l. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 165712 (SUSE Enterprise Linux Security Update (SUSE-SR:2008:002)).

Applying a patch is able to eliminate this problem. A possible mitigation has been published 4 months after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (39524), Tenable (32154), SecurityFocus (BID 27188†), OSVDB (40083†) and Secunia (SA28358†). The entries VDB-3410, VDB-3547, VDB-37647 and VDB-39622 are pretty similar. Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
