HP OpenView Client Configuration Manager (CCM) radexecd.exe unauthorized access

hp-openview-radianotify-unauth-access (30138) The risk level is classified as HighHigh Risk

Description:

HP OpenView Client Configuration Manager (CCM) could allow a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to the system, caused by an authentication error in the Radia Notify Daemon (radexecd.exe). A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted command to TCP port 3465 to bypass authentication and gain unauthorized access to the Client Configuration Manager. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service by launching radbootw.exe, which would allow the attacker to reboot affected devices, or to execute arbitrary code on the system by launching radcrecv.exe, which would allow the attacker to download and execute malicious files on the affected system.
