RISK: Medium Risk

Two vulnerabilities have been identified in HP OpenView Network Node Manager (OV NNM), which could be exploited by remote attackers to compromise a vulnerable system.

1. A buffer overflow error within the "ovwebsnmpsrv.exe" process (invoked via the "jovgraph.exe" CGI application) when processing unrecognized options, which could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

2. A buffer overflow error within the "ovutil.dll" module loaded by the "ovwebsnmpsrv.exe" process (invoked via the "jovgraph.exe" CGI application) when processing malformed parameters, which could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
