Hello Tor, all

While you're at it, you might want to take a look at this. I've came
across with this vulnerabilities while doing a superficial review on
CA's TNG Unicenter. Not sure if some of this may afect "Asset Manager"
or not.

<quote>

#1. Remote command execution via file upload (
http://machine/scripts/file_upload.pl )

#2. A helpdesk user with no special access rights can read any file on
the system were the Service desk daemon has access ( by default
Local/SYSTEM ). The pdmcgi.exe except "templates" as a parameter without
further security check regarding what type of files can be used as
"templates".

#3. pdm_cgireport.exe allows to create and browse any report without
prior authentication.=20

#4. Normal user, who is configured to see only his requests, is able to
see all requests by manipulating pdmcgi.exe queries.
</quote>

AFAIK, all this issues have been fixed, but I have no clue if the fixes
are public or not. You should contact CA if you feel you might be
vulnerable.

Best regards,

Joao Gouveia
