HP Mercury products vulnerable to buffer overflow

Overview

Some HP Mercury products are vulnerable to a buffer overflow and may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

I. Description

The magentproc.exe service provided with some HP Mercury products fails to properly parse values in the server_ip_name field. If an overly long value is sent in this parameter, a stack-based buffer overflow may be triggered within the mchan.dll library. An attacker may be able to exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted packet to the agent (port 54345/tcp). HP reports that the following products are affected by this issue:
  • Mercury LoadRunner Agent 8.1 SP1, FP1, FP2, FP3, and FP4
  • Mercury LoadRunner Agent 8.1 GA
  • Mercury LoadRunner Agent 8.0 GA
  • Mercury Performance Center Agent 8.1 FP1, FP2, FP3, and FP4
  • Mercury Performance Center Agent 8.1 GA
  • Mercury Performance Center Agent 8.0 GA
