processomniinet.exe↗
  • →Detect oversized path field (>= 5000 bytes) in requests to TCP port 5555 targeting the HP Data Protector inet service (omniinet.exe); the PoC sends a 5000-byte 'A'-padded path field. ↗
  • →The exploit packet begins with a specific header structure: two little-endian 0x0020 WORDs, four big-endian 0x0020 WORDs, one little-endian 0x0020 WORD, followed by the oversized path, then a big-endian 0x0000 WORD terminator. Monitor for this packet pattern on TCP/5555. ↗
  • →The total packet length is sent as a big-endian 4-byte prefix before the packet body. Anomalously large length values (e.g., corresponding to ~5000+ byte paths) on TCP/5555 to omniinet.exe should be flagged. ↗
  • →SEH handler overwrite with value 0x00410041 (Unicode 'AA') in omniinet.exe is a crash indicator of successful exploitation of this buffer overflow. ↗
  • ·Vulnerability affects HP OpenView Storage Data Protector v6.00 through v6.20 running on Windows only; non-Windows platforms were not tested. ↗
  • ·Mitigation (not a full fix at time of publication) requires enabling encrypted control communication services on the cell server and all clients in the cell, in addition to upgrading to A.06.20 or subsequent. ↗
