CVE-2009-3977 (GCVE-0-2009-3977)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2009-11-19 00:00 – Updated: 2024-08-07 06:45
VLAI
Summary
Multiple buffer overflows in a certain ActiveX control in ActiveDom.ocx in HP OpenView Network Node Manager (OV NNM) 7.53 might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or have unspecified other impact via a long string argument to the (1) DisplayName, (2) AddGroup, (3) InstallComponent, or (4) Subscribe method. NOTE: this issue is not a vulnerability in many environments, because the control is not marked as safe for scripting and would not execute with default Internet Explorer settings.
