Who is Vulnerable?
Vulnerability Description HP StorageWorks is a collection of storage solutions from Hewlett Packard. These solutions include online storage, nearline storage, storage networking , archiving, and storage software. One of the storage software solutions is the Storage Mirroring Software. HP StorageWorks Storage Mirroring Software provides replication of valuable data to another server, for both Windows and Linux platforms. There exists a buffer overflow vulnerability in HP StorageWorks Storage Mirroring Double Take Service. The vulnerability is due to insufficient bounds checking while handling the messages. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted authentication request to the target server, potentially causing arbitrary code injection and execution with the privileges of the affected service, normally System. 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 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 affected service, normally System.
