CVE-2011-1732: Stack-based buffer overflow in OmniInet.exe in the Backup Client Service in HP OpenView Storage Data Protec...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a remote code execution issue in HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Backup Client Service. A malformed stutil message can trigger a stack buffer overflow in OmniInet.exe. Systems running versions 6.00, 6.10, or 6.11 are the named exposure. No provided source confirms active exploitation. Exposure is most likely where HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Backup Client Service is installed and reachable over the network. Backup infrastructure can be high-impact because it often has broad system access. The bundle does not provide port, configuration, or platform details. Prioritize this for environments still running the named legacy Data Protector versions, especially where backup clients are broadly reachable. The business risk is unauthorized code execution on backup infrastructure, not merely a service outage. Urgency depends on confirmed deployment and exposure. Mitigation focus: Identify any HP OpenView Storage Data Protector 6.00, 6.10, or 6.11 deployments.; Review HP advisory HPSBMA02668 for exact vendor-approved fixes or upgrade paths.; Restrict network access to Backup Client Service to trusted management hosts only..
