Alert

Trend Micro ServerProtect Contains Multiple Vulnerabilities

Last Revised
Alert Code
TA07-235A

Systems Affected

  • Trend Micro ServerProtect for Windows/Novell Netware

Overview

A number of vulnerabilities exist in the Trend Micro ServerProtect
antivirus product. These vulnerabilities could allow a remote attacker
to completely compromise an affected system.

Description

Multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities and an integer overflow
vulnerability have been discovered in the RPC interfaces used by various
components in Trend Micro's
ServerProtect
software package.
These vulnerabilities could be exploited by a remote attacker with the
ability to supply a specially crafted RPC request to the system running
the affected software.

Further information about the vulnerabilities
is available in the Vulnerability
Notes Database
.

Impact

A remote, unauthenticated attacker could execute arbitrary code on
a vulnerable system. The attacker-supplied code would be executed with
system privileges, resulting in a complete compromise of the affected
system.

Solution

Apply updates from Trend Micro

Trend Micro has provided an update for these
vulnerabilities in

ServerProtect
5.58 for Windows NT/2000/2003 Security Patch 4 - Build 1185

Administrators are encouraged to review this notice and apply the patch
as soon as possible.

Restrict network access to the affected components

Until the patch can be applied, administrators may wish to block access to the
vulnerable software from outside their network perimeters, specifically
by blocking access to the ports used by the ServerProtect
service (5168/tcp) and the ServerProtect Agent service (3628/tcp).
This will limit exposure to attacks; however, attackers within the
network perimeter could still exploit the vulnerabilities.
