Survey.exe pegged the CPU at 100% when I tried to disable the Compaq
Insight Manager a couple of months ago, while locking down some IIS
machines. It looked like it was enumerating quite a few registry keys, as
well as hardware info and other information it shouldnt have been getting,
for web based management. I have included the recent advisory on Insight
Manager from Bugraq. You should be able to find the complete archives on
the Bugtraq site. I would disable any vendor managent tools on any
production machines as soon as possible.

Vulnerability Summary
---------------------

Problem: The web server included in Compaq Insight
               Manager could expose sensitive information.

Threat: Anyone that have access to port 2301 where
               Compaq Insight Manager is installed could get
               unrestricted access to the servers disk through
               the "root dot dot" bug.

Platform: Detected on Windows NT and Novell Netware servers
               running on Compaq hardware.

Solution: Disable the Compaq Insight Manager web server or
               restrict anonymous access.

Vulnerability Description
-------------------------
When installing Compaq Insight Manager a web server gets installed. This
web
server runs on port 2301 and is vulnerable to the old "root dot dot" bug.
This
bug gives unrestricted access to the vulnerable server?s disk. It could
easily
get exploited with one of the URLs:

http://vulnerable-NT.com:2301/../../../winnt/repair/sam._
http://vulnerable-Netware.com:2301/../../../system/ldremote.ncf

Solution
--------
You could probably fix the problem by restricting anonymous access to the
Compaq
Insight Manager web server. If you are not using the web server, Infosec
recommends disabling the service.

Background
----------
Infosec gives the credits to Master Dogen who first reported the problem
(Windows NT and Compaq Insight Manager) to us and wanted us go public with
a
vulnerability report.

Infosec have found that Novell Netware with Compaq Insight Manager have
the same
problem but is not as common as on Windows NT.

Compaq Sweden was informed about this problem april 26, 1999

Please disgregard previous post, the signature got in the way of a paste

 In addition to //Gabriel Sandberg, Infosec gabriel.sandberginfosec.se's
 findings.

Web-Based Management is enabled, by default, when you install the Compaq
Server Management Agents for Windows NT.(CPQWMGMT.EXE) The web-enabled
Compaq Server Management Agents allow you to view subsystem and status
information from a web browser, either locally or remotely. Web-enabled
Service Management Agents are availible in all 4.x versions of Insight
Manager.

Compaq HTTP Server Version 1.2.15 (Pre-Release)

 The only user accounts available in the Compaq Server Management
 Agent WEBEM release are listed below.

 Once you have found one wbem enabled machine, using compaq's HTTP
 Auto-Discovery Device List http://111.111.111.111:2301/cpqdev.htm
 It is trivial to locate other machines.
