Message-ID: <FB24803D1DF2A34FA59FC157B77C970503E24054@idserv04.idef.com> Date: Thu, 10 Feb 2005 14:12:20 -0500 From: "iDefense Customer Service" <customerservice@...fense.com> To: <bugtraq@...urityfocus.com>, <vulnwatch@...nwatch.org> Subject: iDEFENSE Security Advisory 02.10.05: Computer Associates BrightStor ARCserve Backup UniversalAgent Backdoor Vulnerability Computer Associates BrightStor ARCserve Backup UniversalAgent Backdoor Vulnerability iDEFENSE Security Advisory 02.10.05 www.idefense.com/application/poi/display?id=198&type=vulnerabilities February 10, 2005 I. BACKGROUND BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.1 delivers leading backup and restore protection for all classes of Windows, NetWare, Linux and UNIX servers, as well as Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, UNIX, AS/400 and VMS client environments. II. DESCRIPTION Remote exploitation of a design flaw in Computer Associates International Inc's BrightStor ARCserve Backup UniversalAgent for UNIX may allow execution of arbitrary code. The vulnerability specifically exists due to hard coded credentials being left in the production release of the UniversalAgent for UNIX. An attacker may use the following credentials to gain full access to the remote file system and potentially execute arbitrary commands with permissions of the root user. Username: \x02root\x03 Password: \x02<%j8U]`~+Ri\x03 III. ANALYSIS The BrightStor software uses a network agent to perform backups on nodes across the network. Typically, the agent service requires either administrative credentials or a node-specific password and is capable of backing up files and remotely executing commands. The agent will listen on TCP and UDP ports 6051 by default and is installed on every node that the BrightStor server is configured to backup. IV. DETECTION Computer Associates BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.1 for Linux and UNIX have been confirmed vulnerable. V. WORKAROUND Employ firewalls, access control lists or other TCP/UDP restriction mechanism to limit access to the backup port on affected systems and services. The login credentials are sent in cleartext and may also be used to detect connections from attackers. VI.
