SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA24066

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/24066/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Privilege escalation

WHERE:
Local system

SOFTWARE:
HP OpenView Network Node Manager (NNM) 7.x
http://secunia.com/product/3608/

DESCRIPTION:
3APA3A has reported a vulnerability in HP OpenView Network Node
Manager (NNM), which can be exploited by malicious, local users to
gain escalated privileges.

The problem is that the HP OpenView NNM Remote Console sets insecure
default permissions (grants the "Everyone" group "Full Control"
permissions) on the "HP OpenView" directory and all child objects.
This can be exploited to remove, manipulate, and replace any of the
application's files.

The vulnerability is reported in version 7.50. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Set proper permissions on the application directory and all child
objects.

Grant only trusted users access to affected systems.
