Title: BakBone NetVault Remote Heap Overflow Code Execution Vulnerability
Severity: CRITICAL
Description:
NetVault is a backup and restore solution available for UNIX, Windows NT/2000, Linux, Netware and Apple Mac OS X platforms.
BakBone NetVault is prone to a remote heap overflow vulnerability. This issue arises because the application fails to perform boundary checks prior to copying user-supplied data into sensitive process buffers.
The vulnerability arises when a remote unauthorized attacker sends excessive data to the application. Exploitation of this issue allows for memory corruption resulting from the application copying excessive network data into a finite sized buffer.
An attacker can gain unauthorized access to an affected computer. It is conjectured that due to the nature of the application, this issue can lead to a complete compromise.
NetVault versions prior to 7.1.2/3 and 7.3.1 are vulnerable.
Affected Products:
- BakBone NetVault 7.0.0
- BakBone NetVault 7.1.0
- BakBone NetVault 7.1.1
