Descriptions

Stack-based buffer overflow in the NetBackup Catalog daemon (bpdbm) in Veritas NetBackup Enterprise Server 5.0 through 6.0 and DataCenter and BusinesServer 4.5FP and 4.5MP allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable Symantec VERITAS NetBackup installations. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the NetBackup Database Manager service (bpdbm.exe) due to insufficient bounds checking during a call to sprintf() that copies user-supplied data to a stack-based buffer. The vulnerable daemon listens on TCP port 13721.
