By sending a certain string to the service, attackers could cause a condition whereby they are able to inject and execute malicious code. This code will execute with Administrator privileges. Analysis -------- The SAPHostControl service expects commands to be sent wrapped into SOAP messages. One of those messages has parameters which are insecurely handled. These parameter values are copied into a static buffer on the stack via sprintf without bounds checking. This leaves the service vulnerable to a buffer overlow which can lead to remote code execution. Technologies Affected ---------------------- SAP NetWeaver 7.02 (SAPHostControl Service) Vendor Response ------------------ SAP release a patch for the issue ref: 1638811. https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1638811 Disclosure Timeline ------------------- 29th September 2011 – Vendor Disclosure 12th December 2011 - Patch Released 17th February 2012 - Advisory Issued (SAP requested 3 months delay between patch release and advisory being issued) Credits -------- Nico Leidecker of Context Information Security Ltd About Context Information Security ------------------------------------ Context Information Security is an independent security consultancy specialising in both technical security and information assurance services.
