===================================================================== CERT-Renater Note d'Information No. 2005/VULN399 _____________________________________________________________________ DATE : 23/06/2005 HARDWARE PLATFORM(S) : / OPERATING SYSTEM(S) : Systems running HP VCRM Proxy Server. ====================================================================== HP SECURITY BULLETIN HPSBMA01166 REVISION: 0 SSRT5955 rev.0 HP VCRM Proxy Server Password Error NOTICE: There are no restrictions for distribution of this Security Bulletin provided that it remains complete and intact. The information in this Security Bulletin should be acted upon as soon as possible. INITIAL RELEASE: 21 June 2005 POTENTIAL SECURITY IMPACT: The proxy password is partially compromised and VCRM Automatic Updates will not occur. SOURCE: Hewlett-Packard Company HP Software Security Response Team VULNERABILITY SUMMARY: The Version Control Repository Manager (VCRM) does not properly accept a Proxy Server password that contains the special character "Commercial AT" (@). The "@" character and any character that follows appear incorrectly as part of the Proxy Server name. As a result, VCRM Automatic Updates will not occur. Second, as a result of the "@" the proxy password is partially compromised since a passerby could see the part starting with the "@" character displayed in the name field. Note: If only the Proxy Server Name and Port are set, the Proxy field is displayed correctly. REFERENCES: None SUPPORTED SOFTWARE VERSIONS*: ONLY impacted versions are listed. Any ProLiant server running Microsoft Windows 2000 Server or Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (any edition) and a version of HP Version Control Repository Manager (VCRM) prior to version 2.1.1.730.
