CVE-2010-1961: Buffer overflow in ovutil.dll in ovwebsnmpsrv.exe in HP OpenView Network Node Manager (OV NNM) 7.51 and 7.5...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy remote code execution issue in HP OpenView Network Node Manager. A remote attacker could trigger a buffer overflow in a Network Node Manager component and potentially run code on the server. The business risk is highest where old NNM 7.51 or 7.53 systems still monitor production networks. Exposure appears limited to legacy HP OpenView Network Node Manager 7.51 and 7.53 deployments. Risk increases if the NNM web or SNMP-related service is reachable from untrusted networks. The structured affected-product metadata is incomplete, so confirm against local asset data and HP advisory HPSBMA02537. Prioritize remediation if any affected NNM server remains in production or reachable beyond a tightly controlled admin network. Network monitoring platforms often have broad visibility and elevated trust, so compromise can create operational and security impact disproportionate to the age of the product. Mitigation focus: Check HP advisory HPSBMA02537 for official patches, workarounds, and supported upgrade paths.; Inventory for HP OpenView Network Node Manager 7.51 and 7.53 installations.; Restrict access to NNM management services to trusted administration networks only..
