CA20101209-01: Security Notice for CA XOsoft

Issued: December 9, 2010

CA Technologies support is alerting customers to a security risk with
CA XOsoft. A vulnerability exists that can allow a remote attacker to
execute arbitrary code.  CA has issued a patch to address the
vulnerability for each affected release.

The vulnerability, CVE-2010-3984, is due to insufficient bounds
checking with a SOAP request. A remote attacker can make a SOAP
request to cause a buffer overflow and potentially compromise the
system.
