APP: Symantec Veritas Storage Foundation Scheduler Service NULL Session Authentication Bypass

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Veritas backup packages. Attackers using an out-of-range TimeStamp CONFIG message can create a denial-of-service condition on the affected system.

Extended Description

Symantec Storage Foundation for Windows is prone to a vulnerability that lets attackers circumvent security updates. The issue resides in the Volume Manager Scheduler Service. Successful exploits of this issue allow attackers to circumvent a previous security update that resolved authentication-bypass and remote code-execution vulnerabilities. This may facilitate the complete compromise of affected computers. Storage Foundation 5.0, 5.0 RP1, and 5.1 are vulnerable.
