    David Morgan and Dominic Beecher of NGSSoftware Ltd have discovered a
    high risk vulnerability in HP's OpenView Radia Management Portal (RMP)
    Radia Management Agent (RMA). The vulnerability permits unauthenticated
    remote execution of arbitrary commands, generally in the context of a
    high-privileged account (Local System on Windows operating systems), on
    affected hosts.

    HP has developed a patch to fix the problem. More information can be
    found in their security bulletin HPSBMA01138:

    NGSSoftware are going to withhold details about this flaw for three
    months; full details will be published on 28 July 2005. This three month
    window will allow HP customers the time needed to test and apply the
    patch before the details are released to the general public. This
    reflects NGSSoftware's approach to responsible disclosure.

NTBugtraq Editor's Note:
Most viruses these days use spoofed email addresses. As such, using an Anti-Virus product which automatically notifies the perceived sender of a message it believes is infected may well cause more harm than good. Someone who did not actually send you a virus may receive the notification and scramble their support staff to find an infection which never existed in the first place. Suggest such notifications be disabled by whomever is responsible for your AV, or at least that the idea is considered.
