APP: Computer Associates Alert Notification Server Buffer Overflow

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Computer Associates Alert Notification Server. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the server.

Extended Description

Computer Associates Alert Notification Server is prone to multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because the application fails to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into insufficiently sized buffers. An attacker can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. Failed exploit attempts likely result in a denial-of-service condition. This issue affects CA products that rely on the Alert Server; the list of known affected products is as follows: CA Threat Manager for the Enterprise (formerly eTrust Integrated Threat Management) r8 CA Protection Suites r3 BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.5 BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.1 BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11 for Windows BrightStor Enterprise Backup r10.5 BrightStor ARCserve Backup v9.01 BrightStor ARCserve Client agent for Windows CA Anti-Virus for the Enterprise (formerly eTrust Antivirus) r8
