      HP Ignite-UX Information Disclosure
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

    "The <http://www.docs.hp.com/en/IUX/index.html> HP Ignite-UX application
    addresses the need for HP-UX system administrators to perform system
    installations and deployment, often on a large scale"

    A vulnerability in HP Ignite-UX allows anonymous users to access the
    operating system's password file.

    DETAILS

    Vulnerable Systems:
     * HP Ignite-UX prior to version C.6.2.240 and prior

    Immune Systems:
     * HP Ignite-UX version C.6.2.241 or newer

    The HP Ignite-UX can use a TFTP server to facilitate anonymous access to
    configuration data. When the make_recovery command is used, a copy of the
    /etc/passwd file will be created in the TFTP server tree and made
    available for anonymous access.

    As of version B.3.2 of the product, the make_recovery command has been
    depreciated in preference for the make_tape_recovery command (which
    doesn't display the same issues), and as of version C.6.0 the
    make_recovery command does not exist in the product at all. However, if at
    any point make_recovery has been run on the host, a copy of the
    /etc/passwd file may still remain within the TFTP server tree.

    Proof of Concept:
    Use a TFTP client to request the file referenced by the following path:
    /var/opt/ignite/recovery/passwd.makrec

    CVE Information:
     <http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004- 0951>
    CAN-2004- 0951

    Disclosure Timeline:
    Discovered: 23.11.04 (Martin O'Neal)
    Vendor notified: 23.11.04
