Description
ovactiond in HP OpenView Network Node Manager (NNM) 6.1 and Tivoli Netview 5.x and 6.x allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a certain SNMP trap message.
{"result": {"cert": [{"id": "VU:952171", "type": "cert", "title": "Hewlett Packard OpenView and Tivoli NetView do not adequately validate SNMP trap arguments", "description": "### Overview\n\nHewlett Packard's (HP) OpenView and Tivoli NetView are system management software packages. There is a vulnerability a component of these packages, ovactiond, that allows intruders to execute arbitrary commands as user bin. This may subsequently lead to a root compromise. \n\n### Description\n\nHP [OpenView](<http://www.openview.hp.com/>) and Tivoli [NetView](<http://www.tivoli.com/products/index/netview/>) are set of tools to manage large networks. Part of OpenView and NetView is a daemon called ovactiond, which is the SNMP trap and event handler. It is possible for an intruder to execute arbitrary commands by sending a malicious message to a vulnerable version of ovactiond. These commands run with the privileges of the ovactiond process, typically bin on Unix systems, and SYSTEM on Windows NT/2000. Often it is possible to use this access to gain root access on Unix systems. An exploit is publicly available. Note that Tivoli NetView is not vulnerable via the default configuration, however, it is likely that customized configurations are vulnerable HP is vulnerable by the default configuration. \n\nFor more information, see HP Security Bulletin HPSBUX0106-154 and <http://www.tivoli.com/support/>. \n \nIt has been confirmed with HP that the patch referenced on Security Focus for OpenView Version 5.01 is only for Version 6.1. \n \n--- \n \n### Impact\n\nAn intruder can execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the ovactiond process, typically bin on Unix systems, and SYSTEM on Window NT/2000 systems. \n \n--- \n \n### Solution\n\nApply patches from your vendor as appropriate. HP has released HP Security Bulletin HPSBUX0106-154. Tivoli has information posted on <http://www.tivoli.com/support/>. \n \n--- \n \n### Systems Affected \n\nVendor| Status| Date Notified| Date Updated \n---|---|---|--- \nCompaq Computer Corporation| | 21 Jun 2001| 15 Aug 2001 \nHewlett Packard| | 15 Jun 2001| 24 Aug 2001 \nIBM| | 21 Jun 2001| 15 Aug 2001 \nMicrosoft| | 15 Jun 2001| 15 Aug 2001 \nSun| | 15 Jun 2001| 15 Aug 2001 \nTivoli| | 27 Jun 2001| 15 Aug 2001 \nApple| | 21 Jun 2001| 15 Aug 2001 \nComputer Associates| | 07 Aug 2001| 15 Aug 2001 \nFreeBSD| | 21 Jun 2001| 15 Aug 2001 \nFujitsu| | 21 Jun 2001| 15 Aug 2001 \nBSDI| | 21 Jun 2001| 15 Aug 2001 \nCaldera| | 21 Jun 2001| 15 Aug 2001 \nDebian| | 21 Jun 2001| 15 Aug 2001 \nDg| | 21 Jun 2001| 15 Aug 2001 \nNEC| | 21 Jun 2001| 15 Aug 2001 \nIf you are a vendor and your product is affected, [let us know](<mailto:cert@cert.org?Subject=VU%23952171 Vendor Status Inquiry>). \n \n\n\n### CVSS Metrics \n\nGroup | Score | Vector \n---|---|--- \nBase | N/A | N/A \nTemporal | N/A | N/A \nEnvironmental | N/A | N/A \n \n### References\n\n * <http://us-support.external.hp.com/cki/bin/doc.pl/screen=ckiDisplayDocument?docId=200000055277985>\n * <http://www.tivoli.com/support/>\n * <http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/2845>\n\n### Credit\n\nOur thanks to Milo G. van der Zee, who reported this problem to us and to Hewlett-Packard for the information contained in their advisory. \n\nThis document was written by Jason Rafail.\n\n### Other Information\n\n * CVE IDs: [CAN-2001-0552](<http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CAN-2001-0552>)\n * CERT Advisory: [CA-2001-24](<http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2001-24.html>)\n * Date Public: 08 Jun 2001\n * Date First Published: 21 Jun 2001\n * Date Last Updated: 06 Sep 2001\n * Severity Metric: 44.89\n * Document Revision: 18\n\n", "published": "2001-06-21T00:00:00", "cvss": {"score": 10.0, "vector": "AV:NETWORK/AC:LOW/Au:NONE/C:COMPLETE/I:COMPLETE/A:COMPLETE/"}, "href": "https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/952171", "cvelist": ["CVE-2001-0552", "CVE-2001-0552"], "lastseen": "2016-02-03T09:12:34"}], "exploitdb": [{"id": "EDB-ID:20909", "type": "exploitdb", "title": "IBM Tivoli NetView 5/6 OVActionD SNMPNotify Command Execution Vulnerability", "description": "IBM Tivoli NetView 5/6 OVActionD SNMPNotify Command Execution Vulnerability.
