This is not the final version of this module. It is a pre-released version in order to deliver a module as quickly as possible to our customers that may be useful in some situations.

Active Directory, which is an essential component of the Windows 2000 architecture, presents organizations with a directory service designed for distributed computing environments. Active Directory allows organizations to centrally manage and share information on network resources and users while acting as the central authority for network security.

The directory services provided by Active Directory are based on the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and thus Active Directory objects can be stored and retrieved using the LDAP protocol.

A vulnerability in Active Directory allows an attacker to crash and force a reboot of any Windows 2000 Server running the Active Directory service.

This module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in the ovalarmsrv module of the HP OpenView Network NodeManager application. The exploit triggers a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted packet to port 2954/TCP of the vulnerable system and installs an agent if successful. This module works disabling DEP on Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition sp2 in the context of the vulnerable application.
