Loading vulnerability…
A stack-based buffer overflow exists in OmniInet.exe, the backup client service daemon, within the Application Recovery Manager component of HP OpenView Storage Data Protector versions 5.50 and 6.0. The vulnerability is triggered by sending an MSG_PROTOCOL command with excessively long arguments, resulting in a buffer overflow condition. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the affected system. This issue is distinct from CVE-2009-3844.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (hp_omniinet_1.rb) that exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2007-2280) in the HP OmniInet NT Service, which is part of HP OpenView Data Protector and HP Application Recovery Manager. The exploit targets the service running on TCP port 5555 by sending a specially crafted MSG_PROTOCOL (0x010b) packet, resulting in remote code execution with elevated privileges. The module supports automatic target detection and multiple specific product versions. The payload is customizable via the Metasploit framework, typically providing a remote shell. The code is written in Ruby and leverages Metasploit's TCP and SEH exploitation mixins. The only fingerprintable network endpoint is TCP port 5555, and the main targeted binary is OmniInet.exe. The repository is operational and suitable for real-world exploitation within the supported product versions.
