CVE-2006-0995: EMC Dantz Retrospect 7 backup client 7.0.107, and other versions before 7.0.109, and 6.5 before 6.5.138 all...

EMC Dantz Retrospect 7 backup client 7.0.107, and other versions before 7.0.109, and 6.5 before 6.5.138 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (client termination and loss of backup service) via a malformed packet to TCP port 497, which triggers an assert error.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a denial-of-service flaw in old EMC Dantz Retrospect backup clients. A remote malformed packet to TCP port 497 can terminate the client, interrupting backup service. The main business risk is backup availability and recovery readiness, not data theft based on the provided sources. Exposure is likely limited to environments still running these legacy Retrospect client versions, especially where TCP 497 is reachable from untrusted networks or broad internal segments. Treat as a backup resilience issue. Prioritize if legacy Retrospect clients remain in service or if backup traffic is broadly reachable. It is not KEV-listed in the provided evidence. Mitigation focus: Inventory Retrospect clients and identify versions older than 7.0.109 or 6.5.138.; Check the Dantz or EMC advisory/KB for the applicable fixed or supported release.; Restrict TCP 497 to trusted backup servers and administration networks..
