COMPLETE Summary
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.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
- Overflow Buffers Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
- Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
- Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
- MIME Conversion An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

description This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in HP OpenView Network Node Manager 7.53 prior to NNM_01203. By specifying a long 'arg' parameter when executing the 'jovgraph.exe' CGI program, an attacker can cause a stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code. This vulnerability is triggerable via either a GET or POST request. The buffer being written to is 1024 bytes in size. It is important to note that this vulnerability must be exploited by overwriting SEH. Otherwise, CVE-2010-1961 is triggered! The vulnerable code is within the "main" function within "ovwebsnmpsrv.exe" with a timestamp prior to April 7th, 2010. There are no stack cookies, so exploitation is easily achieved by overwriting SEH structures. There exists some unreliability when running this exploit. It is not completely clear why at this time, but may be related to OVWDB or session management. Also, on some attempts OV NNM may report invalid characters in the URL. It is not clear what is causing this either. id MSF:EXPLOIT/WINDOWS/HTTP/HP_NNM_OVWEBSNMPSRV_MAIN last seen 2020-06-14 modified 1976-01-01 published 1976-01-01 references https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-1964 reporter Rapid7 source https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/blob/master//modules/exploits/windows/http/hp_nnm_ovwebsnmpsrv_main.rb title HP OpenView Network Node Manager ovwebsnmpsrv.exe main Buffer Overflow description This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in HP OpenView Network Node Manager 7.53 prior to NNM_01203. By specifying a long 'arg' parameter when executing the 'jovgraph.exe' CGI program, an attacker can cause a stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code. This vulnerability is triggerable via either a GET or POST request. It is interesting to note that this vulnerability cannot be exploited by overwriting SEH, since attempting to would trigger CVE-2010-1964. The vulnerable code is within a sub-function called from "main" within "ovwebsnmpsrv.exe" with a timestamp prior to April 7th, 2010. This function contains a 256 byte stack buffer which is passed to the "getProxiedStorageAddress" function within ovutil.dll. When processing the address results in an error, the buffer is overflowed in a call to sprintf_new. There are no stack cookies present, so exploitation is easily achieved by overwriting the saved return address. There exists some unreliability when running this exploit. It is not completely clear why at this time, but may be related to OVWDB or session management. Also, on some attempts OV NNM may report invalid characters in the URL. It is not clear what is causing this either. id MSF:EXPLOIT/WINDOWS/HTTP/HP_NNM_OVWEBSNMPSRV_OVUTIL last seen 2020-05-26 modified 2017-07-24 published 2011-03-23 references reporter Rapid7 source https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/blob/master//modules/exploits/windows/http/hp_nnm_ovwebsnmpsrv_ovutil.rb title HP OpenView Network Node Manager ovwebsnmpsrv.exe ovutil Buffer Overflow
