Who is Vulnerable?
Vulnerability Description Computer Associates BrightStor ARCserve Backup and Business Protection Suite families of software products offer data protection for distributed servers, clients, databases and applications. They provide centralized control over a series of distributed operations including backup and restore, data migration and threat management. There exists a vulnerability in Computer Associates BrightStor ARCserve Backup products. The flaw is due to insufficient checks of user supplied data contained inside the requests sent to the Message Engine service. A remote unauthenticated attacker may leverage this vulnerability to inject and execute arbitrary code on the target host with System level privileges. In an attack case where code injection is not successful the affected service will terminate abnormally. In a more sophisticated attack, where code injection is successful, the behaviour of the target host is entirely dependent on the intended function of the injected code. The code in such a case would execute within the security context of the service process. On Windows systems, the affected service is running with System privileges, by default configuration.
