TITLE

HP LoadRunner Vulnerability in arbitrary code execution in agents such as

DESCRIPTION

Unspecified vulnerability in the Agent in HP LoadRunner before 9.50 and HP Performance Center before 9.50 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.The specific flaw exists within the process magentproc.exe that binds to TCP port 54345. A specially crafted packet will allow unauthenticated users to execute local commands. When a state of 0 or 4 is passed after the parameters, mchan.dll will process the commands on the host. This allows for remote code execution under the context of the SYSTEM user. Successful exploits will result in the complete compromise of affected computers. HP LoadRunner Agent 9.50 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected. See the 'Configuration' chapter, 'Recommended Configuration' section. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Looking for a job?

References: ZDI-CAN-177, CVE-2010-1549 SUPPORTED SOFTWARE VERSIONS*: ONLY impacted versions are listed. HP LoadRunner Agent running on Windows, supplied with LoadRunner prior to v9.50 BACKGROUND CVSS 2.0 Base Metrics =========================================================== Reference Base Vector Base Score CVE-2010-1549 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C) 10.0 =========================================================== Information on CVSS is documented in HP Customer Notice: HPSN-2008-002 Acknowledgement: The Hewlett-Packard Company thanks Tenable Network Security along with TippingPoints Zero Day Initiative for reporting this vulnerability to security-alert@hp.com. RESOLUTION The vulnerability can be resolved by enabling the Secure Channel feature. This resolution requires installation of LoadRunner v9.50 or subsequent. Note: Starting with version 9.50 LoadRunner has provided a documented feature called Secure Channel. Secure Channel prevents non-trusted sources from transmitting code to the Load Generators by establishing an encrypted and secured communication channel. Secure Channel is disabled by default. There are detailed instructions regarding Secure Channel in the HP LoadRunner Controller User's Guide. See the chapter 'Secure Host Communication'. The chapter sections 'Local Security Configuration' and 'Remote Security Configuration' have instructions to enforce secure communication using the Secure Channel feature. Using Secure Channel involves both enabling the Secure Channel feature and setting the security key.
