HP OpenView Network Node Manager ov.dll buffer overflow
| hp-nnm-ov-bo (47802) |  High Risk |
Description:
HP OpenView Network Node Manager is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by ov.dll. By sending an HTTP request containing overly long parameter strings to the OpenView5.exe CGI application, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system with the privileges of the vulnerable service or cause the application to crash.
