Paches for BrightStor ArcServe backup software

  • A stack of vulnerabilities has surfaced in Windows versions of CA's BrightStor ArcServe backup software. The holes are rated 'moderately critical' by Secunia, and CA has now released patches for them.

  • Some of the vulnerabilities were first reported as long ago as last November, when ISS X-Force and TippingPoint updated their firewalls to block them.

  • ISS said the vulnerabilities it found involved using specially-crafted RPC requests to cause a stack-based overflow in Windows versions of the widely-used backup program. It added that ArcServe users need to apply the CA patches, even if any attack should in theory be stopped by their firewall.
