BrightStor ARCserve Backup Security Notice

Issued: October 10, 2007
Last Updated: December 06, 2007

Note: Updated patches are available. The original patches did not fully 
address some issues.

CA's technical support is alerting customers to security risks associated 
with BrightStor ARCserve Backup. Multiple vulnerabilities exist that can allow
 a remote attacker to cause a denial of service, execute arbitrary code, or 
take privileged action. CA has issued patches to address the vulnerabilities.

The first set of vulnerabilities, CVE-2007-5325, CVE-2007-5326, and 
CVE-2007-5327, occur due to insufficient bounds checking by multiple
components.

The second vulnerability, CVE-2007-5328, occurs due to privileged functions 
being available for use without proper authorization.

The third set of vulnerabilities, CVE-2007-5329, CVE-2007-5330, CVE-2007-5331,
and CVE-2007-5332, are due to a memory corruption occurring with the 
processing of RPC procedure arguments by multiple services. The 
vulnerabilities allow an attacker to cause a denial of service, or potentially
to execute arbitrary code.
