This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Computer Associates BrightStor ARCserve Backup Tape Engine. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the system.
Computer Associates BrightStor ARCserve Backup is affected by a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform proper bounds-checking on data supplied to the application. A remote attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable computer with SYSTEM privileges. Failed exploit attempts may cause denial-of-service conditions. BrightStore ARCserver Backup 11.5 is vulnerable to this issue; other versions may also be affected.
