CVE-2011-1734: 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 flaw in HP OpenView Storage Data Protector’s Backup Client Service. A network attacker could send malformed service traffic that crashes or takes control of the OmniInet.exe process on affected versions. Backup infrastructure often has broad access to sensitive systems, so exposure should be treated seriously. Exposure is most likely on systems running HP OpenView Storage Data Protector 6.00, 6.10, or 6.11 with the Backup Client Service reachable over a network. Risk is higher where backup services are accessible from user networks, partner networks, or the internet. Prioritize remediation for any reachable backup infrastructure. Even without active exploitation evidence in the bundle, the stated impact is remote arbitrary code execution against a privileged operational service that may touch many enterprise systems. Mitigation focus: Inventory HP OpenView Storage Data Protector versions 6.00, 6.10, and 6.11.; Review HP advisory HPSBMA02668 for supported patch or upgrade guidance.; Apply HP-recommended fixes after confirming version and maintenance status..
