This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in HP OpenView Network Node Manager (NNM) ov.dll, which is invoked by the CGI program webappmon.exe. It is due to a boundary error when processing maliciously crafted HTTP requests. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by sending a crafted HTTP request to a target server, potentially causing arbitrary code to be injected and executed.
HP OpenView Network Node Manager (OV NNM) is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges. Successful exploits will completely compromise affected computers. The issue affects HP OpenView Network Node Manager versions 7.51 and 7.53 running on the Windows platform.
