Title: EMC AlphaStor Server Agent Multiple Stack Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

Severity: CRITICAL

Description:

AlphaStor is part of an enterprise backup and file-sharing application. Server Agent is an application within AlphaStor that is used to initiate disk-management requests.

Server Agent is prone to multiple stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data before copying it to insufficiently sized buffers. These issues occur in the Command Line Interface process listening on TCP port 41025.

Very few details are available regarding these issues. We will update this BID as more information emerges.

Successful exploits may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges; failed attempts will likely cause denial-of-service conditions.

These issues affect AlphaStor 3.1 SP1 for Windows. Previous versions, and versions for additional platforms, may also be affected.

Affected Products:

  • EMC AlphaStor Server Agent 3.1 SP 1
