Trend Micro ServerProtect Contains Multiple Vulnerabilities

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.

I. 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.

II. 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.

III. 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

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.
