Advisory Title: SAP-DB/MaxDB WebDBM remote buffer overflow

Author: Oliver Karow / Oliver_Karow (at) symantec (dot) com [email concealed]

Release Date: 29-08-2006

Application: SAP-DB/MaxDB 7.6.00.22 - WebDBM

Platform: Windows/Unix

Severity: Remotely exploitable/Local System Access

Vendor status: Verified by vendor / Resolved in 7.6.00.31

CVE Number: CVE-2006-4305

Reference: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/19660

Overview:

A connection from a WebDBM Client to the DBM Server causes a

buffer overflow when the given database name is too large. This

can result in the execution of arbitrary code in the context of

the database server.

Details:

SAP-DB/MaxDB is a heavy-duty, SAP-certified open source

database for OLTP and OLAP usage which offers high reliability,

availability, scalability and a very comprehensive feature set.

It is targeted for large mySAP Business Suite environments

and other applications that require maximum enterprise-level

database functionality and complements the MySQL database server.

A remotely exploitable vulnerability exists in MaxDB's WebDBM.

Due to an input validation error, it is possible to execute

arbitrary code with the privileges of the 'wahttp' process by

sending a malformed HTTP request. Authentication is not required

for successful exploitation to occur.

Vendor Response:

The above vulnerability has been fixed in the latest release of

the product, MaxDB 7.6.00.31.

Licensed and evaluation versions of MaxDB are available for

download in the download section of www.mysql.com/maxdb:

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/maxdb/7.6.00.html.

If there are any further questions about this statement, please

contact mysql-MaxDB support.

Please note that SAP customers receive their downloads via the

SAP Service Marketplace www.service.sap.com and must not use

downloads from the addresses above for their SAP solutions.

Recommendation:

The vendor has released MaxDB 7.6.00.31 to address

this issue. Users should contact the vendor to obtain the

appropriate upgrade.

As a temporary workaround the SAP-DB WWW Service should either

be disabled or have access to it restricted using appropriate

network or client based access controls.
