Who is Vulnerable?
Vulnerability Description HP OpenView Storage Data Protector is a backup solution tailored for enterprise and distributed environments. The Data Protector environment consists of a Cell Manager, backup agents, and backup device servers. The backup agent supports various message types in its communication with clients in order to handle different features. One such message is EXEC_SETUP. This message instructs the Data Protector backup agent to execute a setup file from an SMB share. A remote code execution vulnerability has been reported in HP Data Protector Client agent software. The vulnerability is due to a design weakness in the processing of the EXEC_SETUP messages. A remote attacker could exploit this issue by sending a crafted command to the target service. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability would allow attackers to load and execute arbitrary programs from a remote SMB share.
