-- Vulnerability Details:
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on
vulnerable installations of Hewlett-Packard OpenView Network Node
Manager. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.

The specific flaw exists within the snmpviewer.exe CGI application. This
process copies the Host header from HTTP requests into a fixed-length
buffer located on the stack via a call to strcat. By specifying a string
length within a certain range this buffer can be overflowed leading to
arbitrary code execution.

-- Vendor Response:
Hewlett-Packard has issued an update to correct this vulnerability. More
