Title: [CAID 34817, 35058, 35158, 35159]: CA BrightStor ARCserve
Backup Tape Engine and Portmapper Vulnerabilities
CA Vuln ID (CAID): 34817, 35058, 35158, 35159
CA Advisory Date: 2007-03-15
Reported By: McAfee
Impact: Remote attackers can cause a denial of service or
potentially execute arbitrary code.
Summary: CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup contains four
vulnerabilities that can allow a remote attacker to cause a denial
of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. CA has issued
patches to address the vulnerabilities. The first vulnerability,
CVE-2006-6076, is due to insufficient bounds checking in the Tape
Engine, which can result in a buffer overflow and arbitrary code
execution. The second vulnerability, CVE-2007-0816, is related to
how invalid parameters are handled by the portmapper (catirpc.dll)
service. By sending a specially crafted request, a remote attacker
can crash the service. The third vulnerability, CVE-2007-1447, is
due to a memory corruption issue that occurs during processing of
RPC procedure arguments by the Tape Engine. The vulnerability can
result in a denial of service, and can potentially be exploited to
execute arbitrary code. The fourth vulnerability, CVE-2007-1448,
is due to the presence of an RPC function that, when called, will
disable the Tape Engine interface. A remote attacker can make a
request that will effectively shut down Tape Engine functionality.
Mitigating Factors: None
Severity: CA has given these vulnerabilities a High risk rating.
