CVE-2009-3843

TITLE

Windows upper HP Operations Manager Vulnerable to unlimited file upload attacks

DESCRIPTION

HP Operations Manager 8.10 on Windows contains a "hidden account" in the XML file that specifies Tomcat users, which allows remote attackers to conduct unrestricted file upload attacks, and thereby execute arbitrary code, by using the org.apache.catalina.manager.HTMLManagerServlet class to make requests to manager/html/upload. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.The specific flaw exists due to a hidden account present within the Tomcat users XML file. Using this account a malicious user can access the org.apache.catalina.manager.HTMLManagerServlet class. This is defined within the catalina-manager.jar file installed with the product. This servlet allows a remote user to upload a file via a POST request to /manager/html/upload. If an attacker uploads malicious content it can then be accessed and executed on the server which leads to arbitrary code execution under the context of the SYSTEM user. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 SUPPORT COMMUNICATION - SECURITY BULLETIN Document ID: c01931960 Version: 1 HPSBMA02478 SSRT090251 rev.1 - HP Operations Manager for Windows, Remote Unauthorized Access NOTICE: The information in this Security Bulletin should be acted upon as soon as possible.
