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. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Buffer overflow in ovutil.dll in ovwebsnmpsrv.exe in HP OpenView Network Node Manager (OV NNM) 7.51 and 7.53 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified variables to jovgraph.exe, which are not properly handled in a call to the sprintf function.

The weakness was released 06/09/2010 with Zero Day Initiative as confirmed posting (Bugtraq). It is possible to read the advisory at marc.info. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2010-1961. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is needed for a successful exploitation. Technical details as well as a public exploit are known.
