HP OpenView Performance Agent coda.exe Opcode 0x34 Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

CVE ID	CVE-2012-2019
CVSS SCORE	10.0, AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
AFFECTED VENDORS	Hewlett-Packard
AFFECTED PRODUCTS	OpenView Performance Agent
TREND MICRO CUSTOMER PROTECTION	Trend Micro TippingPoint IPS customers are protected against this vulnerability by Digital Vaccine protection filter ID ['12448']. For further product information on the TippingPoint IPS: http://www.tippingpoint.com
VULNERABILITY DETAILS	This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of HP OpenView Performance Agent. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the coda.exe process which listens on a random TCP port by default. The process trusts a value within a GET request as a size. It then proceeds to copy that many bytes of user-supplied data into a fixed-length buffer on the stack. Remote unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability by sending malformed message packets to the target, which could ultimately lead to arbitrary code execution under the context of the SYSTEM user.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS	Hewlett-Packard has issued an update to correct this vulnerability. More details can be found at: https://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/kb/docDisplay?docId=emr_na-c03397769
