Who is Vulnerable?
Vulnerability Description	The Network Node Manager (NNM) is an HP OpenView product which manages networks. It determines and displays physical and logical connectivity in networks, as well as information referring to protocols running over the network. Multiple heap buffer overflow vulnerabilities exist in HP OpenView Network Node Manager (NNM). The vulnerabilities are due to a boundary error in ovsessionmgr.exe and ovlogin.exe when processing the 'userid' and 'passwd' parameters sent in an HTTP request. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities by sending a crafted HTTP request to a target server, potentially causing arbitrary code to be injected and executed in the security context of the SYSTEM user.
