Description

A remote stack-based buffer overflow exists in Brightstor Arcserve. The agent software fails to validate user-supplied input resulting in a long string overflow. With a specially crafted request of 3168 bytes to port 6070, an attacker can execute arbitrary code with System privilege resulting in a loss of confidentiality and integrity.
