AI Insight
LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.
Unauthenticated remote commands in HP OpenView CCM radexecd.exe allow denial of service and arbitrary file creation.
Vulnerability
radexecd.exe in HP OpenView Client Configuration Manager (CCM) does not require authentication before executing commands in the installation directory. This allows remote attackers to invoke radbootw.exe to cause a denial of service (reboot) or call radcrecv to create arbitrary files. [1]
Exploitation
An attacker can send unauthenticated network requests to the radexecd.exe service. By calling radbootw.exe, the system is forced to reboot. By calling radcrecv, arbitrary files can be created in the installation directory. [1]
Impact
Successful exploitation leads to a denial of service via system reboot or arbitrary file creation, affecting system availability and potentially integrity. [1]
Mitigation
HP released a patch in 2006; users should apply the fix. Details are available from HP support. [1]
