-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ZDI-12-089 : HP DataDirect OpenAccess GIOP Parsing Remote Code Execution Vulnerability http://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-12-089 June 6, 2012 - -- CVE ID: CVE-2011-4164 - -- CVSS: 10, AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C - -- Affected Vendors: Hewlett-Packard DataDirect - -- Affected Products: Hewlett-Packard Database Archiving DataDirect SequeLink - -- TippingPoint(TM) IPS Customer Protection: TippingPoint IPS customers have been protected against this vulnerability by Digital Vaccine protection filter ID 12363. For further product information on the TippingPoint IPS, visit: http://www.tippingpoint.com - -- Vulnerability Details: This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable applications using DataDirect's SequeLink. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within how the application processes GIOP packets. When processing a specific GIOP packet, the application will trust a size field in the packet. The application will use this size in a copy operation into a statically sized buffer which can cause a buffer overflow. This can lead to code execution under the context of the service. - -- Vendor Response: Hewlett-Packard has issued an update to correct this vulnerability.
