Description

This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in HP OpenView Network Node Manager 7.53.
By sending a specially crafted CGI request to ovalarm.exe, an attacker can execute
arbitrary code.

This specific vulnerability is due to a call to "sprintf_new" in the "isWide"
function within "ovalarm.exe". A stack buffer overflow occurs when processing an
HTTP request that contains the following.

1. An "Accept-Language" header longer than 100 bytes
2. An "OVABverbose" URI variable set to "on", "true" or "1"

The vulnerability is related to "_WebSession::GetWebLocale()".

NOTE: This exploit has been tested successfully with a reverse_ord_tcp payload.
