Who is Vulnerable?
Vulnerability Description NetVault is a multi-platform backup and restore software suite produced by BakBone Software. The product uses a client-server architecture and is capable of networked backup tasks. The product has separate network communication mechanisms to facilitate backup and management functions. The client and server components use proprietary protocols to communicate with each other. A vulnerability exists in BakBone Software's NetVault, an enterprise class backup suite. The vulnerability is caused due to insufficient boundary checking in the communication handling code of both the client and server components. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely by unauthenticated users to execute arbitrary code. A simple attack will result in an unexpected termination of the target service, creating a denial of service condition. The service will not automatically restart by default. In a more sophisticated case, an attacker can remotely inject and execute arbitrary code. Any injected code will executed with system-level privileges. The target's behavior in such a case is dependent on the intent of the injected code.
