SIG^2 Vulnerability Research Advisory

NodeManager Professional V2.00 Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

by Tan Chew Keong
Release Date: 17 Jan 2005 


ADVISORY URL
http://www.security.org.sg/vuln/nodemanager200.html


SUMMARY

NodeManager Professional (http://www.h4.dion.ne.jp/~you4707/NodeManagerPro.html) is a \
network management and monitoring tool. It receives SNMPv1 traps and displays them on \
screen and writes them to a log file. NodeManager Professional V2.00 has a stack \
overflow vulnerability that can be exploited by sending a specially crafted SNMPv1 \
trap.

 
TESTED SYSTEM

NodeManager Professional V2.00 on English Win2K SP4, WinXP SP1, SP2.

 
DETAILS

NodeManager Professional allows the user to use a format string to customize how each \
received SNMPv1 trap is logged. For example, the default format string for the \
LinkDown event is

"Snmp Trap LinkDown (EnterPrise=%EPRISE ObjectID=%OID Value=%DATA)"

When a LinkDown-Trap packet is received, the various placeholders (e.g. %OID, %DATA) \
will be replaced with the received values. When the format string is parsed, each \
received value is first copied to a 512-byte local stack buffer before it is \
concatenated to the final string. By sending a LinkDown-Trap packet containing an \
OCTET-STRING of more than 512 bytes in the Trap variable-bindings field, it is \
possible to overflow the stack buffer and overwrite the EIP. This happens when the \
%DATA placeholder is processed.


PATCH

Upgrade to version 2.01, which fixes this vulnerability.
