VERITAS Backup Exec Agent Browser Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

VERITAS Backup Exec Agent Browser Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Veritas Backup Exec is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to carry out proper boundary checks before copying user-supplied data into sensitive process buffers. A remote attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable computer leading to a complete compromise.

This issue presents itself in an unspecified function that is responsible for handling registration requests. This function is part of the Agent Browser service code.
