PROTEGO Security Advisory #PSA200405
Topic: Buffer Overflow in HAHTsite Scenario Server 5.1 
Platform: Windows, Solaris and Linux
Application: HAHTsite Scenario Server 5.1, Patch 1 to 6
Author: Dennis Rand (dra at protego.dk)
Advisory URL: http://www.protego.dk/advisories/20045.html
Vendor Name: HAHT Commerce
Vendor URL: http://www.haht.com
Vendor contacted: 12. Nov. 2003
Public release: 2. Apr. 2004

Explanation:
The HAHTsiteR Scenario Server is a highly flexible, standards-based
e-business server that offers essential platform features such as
scalability, high availability, security and extensibility. The Scenario
Server also offers essential integration features that provide a
powerful framework for your demand chain management environment. 

Problem:
The HAHTsite Scenario Server does not perform proper bounds check on
requests passed to the application. This results in a buffer overflow
condition, when a large specially crafted request is sent to the server.

Details:
The issue can be triggered by requesting:
http://[hostname]/[cgialias]/hsrun.exe/[ServerGroupName]/[ServerGroupNam
e]/[VeryLongProjectName].htx;start=[PageName]

This bug affects both background processes (regular server groups), and
control processes (the administrative server group). 

The following error will appear in the event viewer when this
vulnerablity is exploited:

- ------------------------------------------------------------------
Event Type: Error 
Event Source: HAHTsite 5.1 Controller 
Event Category: None 
Event ID: 1032 
Description: 
Unexpected termination of server hsadmsrv with PID=xxxx: Exit Reason:
Unknown Reason 
- ------------------------------------------------------------------ 

Impact:
A request like the above will overrun the allocated buffer and overwrite
EIP (Instruction Pointer), which leads to a service restart and the
possibility of remote code execution, giving an attacker the opportunity
to run commands on the server with permission of NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. 

PROTEGO has developed af Proof of Concept exploit that will make the
server return a command prompt with SYSTEM privileges, to an attacker.

Corrective actions:
This security vulnerability can be corrected by applying the server fix
[20030010] from www.haht.com/kb
