Who is Vulnerable?
Vulnerability Description	HP OpenView product consists of a suite of network and system management software applications developed by HP. It includes hundreds of optional modules and components, such as OpenView Quality Manager, OpenView Performance Insight, OpenView Network Node Manager, etc. A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in HP OpenView Network Node Manager. The flaw is due to a boundary error when processing HTTP requests sent to certain CGI programs. A remote unauthenticated attacker can send a crafted HTTP request to the target host to exploit this vulnerability. A successful attack could allow for arbitrary code being injected and executed with the privileges of the affected process, normally Internet Guest Account on Windows platforms. In an attack case where code injection is not successful, the affected process will terminate abnormally. In a more sophisticated attack where code injection is successful, the behaviour of the target is entirely dependent on the intended function of the injected code. The code in such a case would execute within the security context of the affected process, normally Internet Guest Account.
