Extended Description

HP OpenView Network Node Manager is prone to multiple vulnerabilities affecting the 'ovalarmsrv.exe' and 'ovtopmd.exe' processes. These issues include a directory-traversal issue and multiple denial-of-service issues. UPDATE (April 14, 2008): Secunia Research discovered, independently, that the 'OpenView5.exe' process is also prone to the directory-traversal issue; this affects Network Node Manager 7.51.
