Discussion

EMC Dantz Retrospect Backup Client Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Dantz Retrospect Backup Client is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability. This issue is due to the application's failure to properly bounds-check user-supplied input before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer.
