Multiple buffer overflows in CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.5 SP1 and earlier, r11.1, and 9.01; BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Windows r11; BrightStor Enterprise Backup 10.5; Server Protection Suite r2; and Business Protection Suite r2 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted data on TCP port 6071 to the Backup Agent RPC Server (DBASVR.exe) using the RPC routines with opcode (1) 0x01, (2) 0x02, or (3) 0x18; invalid stub data on TCP port 6503 to the RPC routines with opcode (4) 0x2b or (5) 0x2d in ASCORE.dll in the Message Engine RPC Server (msgeng.exe); (6) a long hostname on TCP port 41523 to ASBRDCST.DLL in the Discovery Service (casdscsvc.exe); or unspecified vectors related to the (7) Job Engine Service.

Glexia's TakeAutomated analysis

Security readout for executives and security teams

This vulnerability affects old CA BrightStor and related backup products. A remote attacker could crash or take control of backup service processes by sending malformed network data. Backup servers often hold privileged access and sensitive data, so exposure could create serious business risk even though this is a legacy 2006 issue. Exposure is most likely in legacy environments still running CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup, BrightStor Enterprise Backup, Server Protection Suite, or Business Protection Suite. Systems with the named backup services reachable from untrusted networks are the main concern. Treat as high priority if any affected backup products remain in production. The issue is old, but backup infrastructure compromise can affect recovery, sensitive data, and administrative trust. Mitigation focus: Identify any remaining affected CA BrightStor or ARCserve installations.; Check CA or successor vendor guidance for fixed versions and supported migration paths.; Restrict backup service network access to trusted management and backup segments..
