APP: HP Data Protector Media Operation DBServer.exe Heap Buffer Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against HP Data Protector Media Operation. A successful attack can lead to a heap based overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the affected application.
Extended Description
HP Data Protector Media Operation is prone to a remote heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized memory buffer. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of an application using the affected library. Failed exploit attempts will result in denial-of-service conditions. HP Data Protector Media Operations 6.20 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
