This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the HP OpenView Network Node Manager. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the server.
HP OpenView Network Node Manager is prone to multiple stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerabilities. Successfully exploiting these issues allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the Network Node Manager process. This facilitates the remote compromise of affected computers. Network Node Manager 6.41, 7.01, and 7.51 are affected when running on HP-UX, Solaris, Windows, and Linux platforms.
