Message-ID: <FB24803D1DF2A34FA59FC157B77C970503E23FAC@idserv04.idef.com> Date: Wed, 9 Feb 2005 18:16:07 -0500 From: "iDefense Customer Service" <customerservice@...fense.com> To: <bugtraq@...urityfocus.com>, <vulnwatch@...nwatch.org> Subject: iDEFENSE Security Advisory 02.09.05: CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup v11 Discovery Service Remote Buffer Overflow Computer Associates BrightStor ARCserve Backup v11 Discovery Service Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability iDEFENSE Security Advisory 02.09.05 www.idefense.com/application/poi/display?id=194&type=vulnerabilities February 09, 2005 I. BACKGROUND BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Windows delivers backup and restore protection for all Windows server systems as well as Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and UNIX client environments. http://www3.ca.com/Solutions/ProductFamily.asp?ID=115 II. DESCRIPTION Remote exploitation of a buffer overflow vulnerability in Computer Associates International Inc's BrightStor ARCserve Backup v11 Discovery Service may allow execution of arbitrary code. The BrightStor software will automatically detect other BrightStor (ARCserve) servers on the local network. It does this by sending UDP probe messages to the broadcast address on the network. Each system running the BrightStor software listens for these probes and replies back to IP address embedded in the data of the packet. The Discovery service listens on UDP port 41524 for these probe requests. III. ANALYSIS When a UDP probe is received by the Discovery Service, a stack overflow can occur if the data is larger than the temporary buffer. The recvfrom() call made by the service accepts up to 4096 bytes, however the buffer it is copied to is slightly less than 1000 bytes. The return address can be overwritten by sending a message that is at least 967 bytes long. As the service runs as 'Local System', exploitation of this vulnerability allows running arbitrary code with superuser privileges. IV. DETECTION Computer Associates BrightStor ARCserve Backup v11 (Win32) has been confirmed vulnerable. V. WORKAROUND Employ firewalls, access control lists or other TCP/UDP restriction mechanism to limit access to systems and services. VI.
