Title: VERITAS NetBackup Multiple Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

Severity: CRITICAL

Description:

VERITAS NetBackup is a network-enabled backup solution from VERITAS. It is available for various platforms.

Various daemons running in VERITAS NetBackup are prone to buffer-overflow vulnerabilities. These issues arise because the application fails to perform boundary checks before copying user-supplied data into process buffers.

Specifically, the vulnerabilities affect the volume manager daemon ('vmd'), the NetBackup Catalog daemon ('bpdbm'), and the NetBackup Sharepoint Services server daemon ('bpspsserver').

The NetBackup Catalog daemon ('bpdbm') listens on TCP port 13721 and copies user-supplied data into a stack buffer without first bounds-checking the data.

The 'vnetd' service listens on TCP port 13724 and allows attackers to send specially crafted messages that are copied into two finite-sized buffers.

The volume manager daemon ('vmd') listens on TCP port 13701 and copies user-supplied data into a stack buffer without first bounds-checking the data.

A successful attack may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable computer to gain unauthorized access in the context of the application.

These issues affect various versions of NetBackup servers and clients.

Affected Products:

  • Veritas Software NetBackup BusinesServer 4.5.0 FP
  • Veritas Software NetBackup BusinesServer 4.5.0 MP
  • Veritas Software NetBackup DataCenter 4.5.0 FP
  • Veritas Software NetBackup DataCenter 4.5.0 MP
  • Veritas Software NetBackup Enterprise Server 5.0.0
  • Veritas Software NetBackup Enterprise Server 5.1.0
  • Veritas Software NetBackup Enterprise Server 6.0.0
