EMC Retrospect Client Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Retrospect Client for Windows is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure in the application to properly verify user-supplied input before copying it into a finite-sized buffer.

Successful exploits may result in memory corruption leading to a denial-of-service condition or arbitrary code execution.

Retrospect 7.5 Client for Windows is reported vulnerable. Other versions may be affected as well.
