Vulnerability Note VU#859230

HP Business Service Management 9.12 remote code execution vulnerability

   Original Release date: 16 May 2012 | Last revised: 16 May 2012

Overview

   The HP Business Service Management (HPBSM) application contains a
   remote code execution vulnerability. Version 9.12 has been reported to
   be affected but other versions may also be affected.

Description

   HPBSM uses the JBOSS application server. In the default configuration,
   HPBSM contains open ports that may be accessed by an unauthenticated
   attacker. The attacker can upload a jsp-shell as a .war file and have
   the JBOSS application server deploy it as a service. In the default
   configuration, this attacker shell will run with SYSTEM privileges.

Impact

   An unauthenticated attacker may be able to deploy a backdoor shell with
   SYSTEM privileges.

Solution

   We are currently unaware of a practical solution to this problem.
   Please consider the following workarounds.

   Restrict Access

   Implement appropriate firewall rules to block traffic from untrusted
   sources to TCP ports 4444, 1098, and 1099.
