Discussion

Computer Associates BrightStor ArcServe Media Server Multiple Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

Computer Associates BrightStor ARCServe Media Server is prone to multiple remote buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized memory buffer.

A remote attacker may exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges. Successful exploits can result in a complete compromise of affected computers. Failed exploit attempts will likely cause denial-of-service conditions.
