Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as very critical has been found in HP OpenView Network Node Manager 7.53 (Network Management Software). This affects an unknown code of the file ovwebsnmpsrv.exe. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as 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. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Stack-based buffer overflow in ovwebsnmpsrv.exe in HP OpenView Network Node Manager (OV NNM) 7.01, 7.51, and 7.53 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving the sel and arg parameters to jovgraph.exe.

The weakness was released 12/10/2009 by Aaron Portnoy (TippingPoint) with Zero Day Initiative (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at securityfocus.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2009-4181 since 12/03/2009. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details and a public exploit are known. The pricing for an exploit might be around USD at the moment (estimation calculated on 08/28/2021).

A public exploit has been developed in Python. The exploit is shared for download at securityfocus.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. We expect the 0-day to have been worth approximately $25k-$100k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 43142 (HP-UX PHSS_40374 : s700_800 11.X OV NNM7.53 PA-RISC Intermediate Patch 25), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment.
