This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Computer Associates BrightStor ARCServe Backup LGServer. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the system.
Computer Associates BrightStor ARCserve Backup is prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data prior to copying it to an insufficiently sized buffer. A successful exploit will allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges. Note that only applications on the Windows operating system are affected.
