Overflow Vulnerability

CVE: CVE-2008-1472

Impact: A remote attacker can cause a denial of service or execute

Unicenter Desktop Management Bundle, Unicenter Asset Management,

      default, the file is in the "C:\Program Files\CA\DSM\bin\" 
      directory.
   2. Right click on the file and select Properties.
   3. Select the Version tab.
   4. If the file version is earlier than indicated in the below 
      table, the installation is vulnerable.

prevent the GUI from functioning correctly. Refer to Microsoft KB 
article 240797 <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/240797> for
