Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2006-2391 is a remote buffer overflow in EMC Retrospect Client versions 5.1 through 7.5. An attacker who can reach the Retrospect service on port 497 could crash the client and may be able to run code. Business impact depends on whether legacy backup clients remain deployed or exposed. Exposure is most likely in legacy environments still running EMC or previously Dantz Retrospect Client 5.1 through 7.5, especially where port 497 is reachable beyond trusted backup infrastructure. Treat as a legacy-system risk. It deserves priority if Retrospect Client is still used or reachable, because backup infrastructure can be sensitive and the vulnerability may allow code execution. If the product is absent, urgency is low. Mitigation focus: Check EMC/Dantz vendor guidance for the supported fixed version or upgrade path.; Disable Retrospect Client where it is no longer required.; Restrict port 497 to trusted backup servers only..
