VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/29796/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of system information, Exposure of sensitive information,
DoS

WHERE:
>From local network

SOFTWARE:
HP OpenView Network Node Manager (NNM) 7.x
http://secunia.com/product/3608/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in HP OpenView Network Node
Manager, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose
certain information or cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

1) An error in the ovtopmd.exe service can be exploited to cause the
service to terminate via a type 0x36 request sent to default port
2532/TCP.

2) An input validation error in the ovalarmsrv.exe service can be
exploited to cause the service to consume large amounts of CPU
resources by sending specially crafted requests (e.g. type 25, 45,
46, 47 and 81) to default port 2954/TCP.

3) A NULL-pointer dereference error within ovalarmsrv.exe can be
exploited via a specially crafted request sent to default port
2954/TCP.

4) It is possible to download or view arbitrary files by sending an
HTTP request to the OpenView5.exe CGI application and passing strings
containing directory traversal sequences to the "Action" parameter.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 7.53. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Restrict network access to the services. Filter malicious characters
and character sequences using a web proxy.
