Official Description

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in HP OpenView Network Node Manager (OV NNM) 7.01, 7.51, and 7.53 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) a long Template parameter to nnmRptConfig.exe, related to the strcat function; or (2) a long Oid parameter to snmp.exe.

Source: NIST NVD / MITRE CVE Database

Attack Vector Analysis — CITED Relevance

The vulnerabilities are triggered by a long Template parameter in nnmRptConfig.exe and a long Oid parameter in snmp.exe, both of which utilize the strcat function, leading to stack-based buffer overflows.
