Re: NetObserve Security Bypass Vulnerability

############################################

Credit:
Author : Peter Winter-Smith

Software:
Packages : NetObserve
Version : 2.0 and prior
Vendor : ExploreAnywhere Software
Vendor Url : http://www.exploreanywhere.com/no-intro.php

Vulnerability:
Bug Type : Security Bypass
Severity : Highly Critical
              + Remote System Command Via NetObserve

UPDATE:

I may have been a little unclear in my description of the
exploitability of this flaw. It seems that I interchanged the words
'administrator' and 'remote user' giving the impression that only a
current'user' of the administration panel can compromise the system
through these flaws. In actual fact it is possible to compromise a system
running NetObserve without being any kind of authenticated user or
administrator!

I thought I should mention this because it has been labelled as only
exploitable by current users of the NetObserve system, which is
technically incorrect - anyone can exploit it :-)

The complete document on this flaw can be found at:

Thanks to you all for the tireless effort and research work which you
put into the security community!
