This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Veritas NetBackup Volume Manager. A successful attack can allow remote code execution with system privileges.
Various daemons running in VERITAS NetBackup are prone to buffer-overflow vulnerabilities. Specifically, the vulnerabilities affect the volume manager daemon ('vmd'), the NetBackup Catalog daemon ('bpdbm'), and the NetBackup Sharepoint Services server daemon ('bpspsserver'). A successful attack may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable computer to gain unauthorized access in the context of the application. These issues affect various versions of NetBackup servers and clients.
