Descriptions
Multiple buffer overflows in xdr functions in the server in CA BrightStor ARCServe Backup 11.0, 11.1, and 11.5 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, as demonstrated by a stack-based buffer overflow via a long parameter to the xdr_rwsstring function.
Múltiples desbordamientos de buffer de las funciones xdr en el servidor de CA BrightStor ARCServe Backup 11.0, 11.1 y 11.5, permiten a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrariamente, tal y como se ha demostrado mediante un desbordamiento de búfer basado en pila a través de un parámetro largo de la función xdr_rwsstring.
This vulnerability allws attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Linux. User interaction is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists due to improper bounds checking in the xdr_rwsstring() library function. By sending a long parameter into a daemon using this function to process strings, a stack based buffer overflow occurs, leading to execution of arbitrary code.
