Security readout for executives and security teams
EMC AutoStart versions 5.3.x and 5.4.x before 5.4.3 had multiple buffer overflow flaws. A remote attacker could send crafted network packets that crash the agent, and the sources say arbitrary code execution may be possible. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running legacy EMC AutoStart 5.3.x or 5.4.x before 5.4.3, especially where the AutoStart agent is reachable over a network. Prioritize remediation if EMC AutoStart remains in use. The issue affects old high-availability software, but remote crash risk and possible code execution make exposed legacy deployments a business continuity concern. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected EMC AutoStart 5.3.x or 5.4.x systems to 5.4.3 or later.; Review EMC advisory ESA-2012-020 for vendor-specific remediation details.; Restrict network reachability to AutoStart services until remediation is complete..
