OVERVIEW

        Exploit code for the recent vulnerabilities in CA BrightStor ARCserv
        Backup [1][2] have been released to the general public [3].


IMPACT

        Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow a
        remote attacker to take complete control of an affected machine.


MITIGATION

        Users of CA BrightStor, Protection Suite and Desktop Management Suite
        software should upgrade to non-vulnerable versions as soon as
        possible. Patches and upgrades have been made available on CA's
        website [4].

        As with any backup product, access to server ports used for backup
        should be restricted to the backup client, and vice versa for client
        ports. All backup service ports should not be accessible from outside
        your organisation. In this specific case, traffic to TCP ports 1900,
        2200, 6502, 6503 and 6504 should be restricted.
