-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 iDefense Security Advisory 02.06.09 http://labs.idefense.com/intelligence/vulnerabilities/ Feb 06, 2009 I. BACKGROUND HP Network Node Manager (NNM) is an application suite that is used to map out and manage network topography. NNM runs on a variety of platforms, including Linux and multiple versions of Windows. For more information, see the vendor's site found at the following link. http://www.openview.hp.com/products/nnm/index.html II. DESCRIPTION Remote exploitation of multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities in Hewlett-Packard Development Co. LP (HP)'s Network Node Manager could allow an attacker to gain access to sensitive information. Two vulnerabilities exist within the CGI applications distributed with NNM. The first vulnerability exists in the nnmRptConfig.exe CGI application. When responding to specifically crafted requests, the CGI will disclose the location of log directories. The second vulnerability exists within the ovlaunch.exe CGI. If a parameter is incorrectly set in a specific request, the application will return various configuration details. III. ANALYSIS Exploitation of these vulnerabilities results in the disclosure of sensitive information. While the direct effects of these vulnerabilities are minimal, they may be useful to an attacker attempting to exploit other vulnerabilities. IV. DETECTION iDefense has confirmed the existence of these vulnerabilities in Network Node Manager version 7.53 for Linux and Windows. Previous versions may also be affected. V. WORKAROUND iDefense is currently unaware of any workarounds for these issues. VI. VENDOR RESPONSE Hewlett-Packard has released a patch which addresses this issue. For more information, consult their advisory at the following URL. http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c01661610 VII. CVE INFORMATION The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the name CVE-2008-4560 to this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org/), which standardizes names for security problems. VIII.
