Integer signedness error in ovspmd.exe in HP OpenView Network Node Manager (OV NNM) 8.01, and 7.53 and earlier, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or execute arbitrary code via a long request to TCP port 8886 that begins with a certain negative integer, which passes a signed comparison and triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

  • →Detect oversized TCP requests to port 8886 targeting ovspmd.exe; the malicious request begins with a negative integer (high-bit set, i.e. value >= 0x80000000 when interpreted as unsigned) which bypasses a signed comparison and triggers heap overflow. ↗
  • →Monitor for unexpected crashes or restarts of the ovspmd.exe process on Windows hosts running HP OpenView NNM 7.53 or 8.01, particularly following inbound connections on TCP/8886. ↗
