Hewlett Packard · Hp Protecttools Device Access Manager · CVE-2011-4162
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
HP Protect Tools Device Access Manager versions prior to 6.1.0.1
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service due to heap memory corruption. This can be achieved via a long `SidString` argument in certain methods.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 6.1.0.1, update to version 6.1.0.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `AddUser`, `AddUserEx`, `RemoveUser`, `RemoveUserByGuide`, `RemoveUserEx`, and `RemoveUserRegardless` methods until a patch is applied. Avoid using long `SidString` arguments in the affected methods to minimize the risk of exploitation.
