APP: CA ARCserve NetBackup Directory Traversal
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Computer Associates BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Laptops and Desktops. Attackers can use a directory traversal attack to read and write arbitrary files on the server, as well as execute arbitrary code. It is advised that CA Arcserve servers be firewalled from Internet access, as files can be accessed without authentication without triggering this signature.
Extended Description
Computer Associates ARCserve Backup for Laptops and Desktops is prone to multiple remote issues, including a buffer-overflow vulnerability and a denial-of-service vulnerability. Successfully exploiting these issues allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary machine code with SYSTEM-level privileges. This will result in a complete compromise of affected computers. Attackers may also trigger application crashes, denying service to legitimate users. These issues are related to the ones documented in BID 24348 (Computer Associates ARCserve Backup Multiple Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities). The fixes for CVE-2007-3216 and CVE-2007-5005 did not completely resolve the previous issues.
