How the Exploit Works
The exploit works by the attacker sending specially crafted packets to the SAP MDM server. These packets trigger a memory read access violation in the server process. This violation forces the server process to fail and exit unexpectedly, potentially leading to system compromise and data leakage.
Conceptual Example Code
Below is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited:
POST /SAPMDMServerRead HTTP/1.1
Host: targetserver.com
Content-Type: application/json
{ "specially_crafted_packet": "trigger memory read access violation" }
In this example, the attacker sends a POST request with a specially crafted payload designed to trigger the memory read access violation. Once the server processes this request, it fails and exits unexpectedly, creating potential for system compromise or data leakage.
Mitigation Guidance
The recommended mitigation for this vulnerability is to apply the vendor patch as soon as it is available. In the interim, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can offer temporary protection by detecting and blocking attempts to exploit this vulnerability.
