Computer Associates BrightStor ARCserve Backup Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Computer Associates BrightStor ARCserve Backup and BrightStor Enterprise Backup Agents for Windows are affected by a remote stack-based 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. A denial-of-service condition may arise as well.
