Description

A vulnerability has been reported in Compaq Insight Management Agent, which may possibly allow malicious people to execute arbitrary code.

The problem is that the Compaq Insight Management Agent doesn't handle long requests containing format specifiers.

Example:
"GET /<\x21.DebugSearchPaths>?Url=a_long_string_with_malicious_characters".

This has been reported to affect version 5.00H and possibly earlier versions.


Solution
