TITLE:
HP OpenView Operations Apache Chunked Encoding Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA21917

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/21917/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
DoS, System access

WHERE:
>From local network

SOFTWARE:
HP OpenView Operations for Windows 7.x
http://secunia.com/product/11952/
HP OpenView Operations 7.x
http://secunia.com/product/2099/
HP OpenView Operations 8.x
http://secunia.com/product/4199/

DESCRIPTION:
HP has acknowledged a vulnerability in HP OpenView Operations and HP
OpenView Operations for Windows, which can be exploited by malicious
people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially compromise
a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the included Apache
web server in the handling of malformed requests encoded using
chunked encoding. This can be exploited to crash the child process by
sending a specially crafted request.

Successful exploitation causes resource consumption when the lost
child process is being replaced, or may allow execution of arbitrary
code.

The vulnerability has been reported in the following products:
* HP OpenView Operations 7.1, 8.0, and 8.1.
* HP OpenView Operations for Windows a.07.21, a.07.20, a.07.10, and
a.07.00.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches (see vendor advisory).
