This signature detects attempts to exploit a known buffer overflow vulerability in HP OpenView Network Node Manager (NNM) ovwebsnmpsrv.exe. It is due to a boundary error when handling HTTP requests sent to the jovgraph.exe CGI application. 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 in the security context of the Internet Guest account.
HP OpenView Network Node Manager (NNM) is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
