TITLE:
VERITAS NetBackup Professional Creates Insecure Shares

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA10579

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://www.secunia.com/advisories/10579/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
From local network

SOFTWARE:
VERITAS NetBackup Professional 3.x

DESCRIPTION:
Kay Schluepmann has reported a vulnerability in NetBackup
Professional, allowing malicious people to access files on the system
running the NetBackup client.

The problem is that the Open Transaction Manager creates a share,
which is used to access the files on the client when a backup is
running. The share is created in an insecure manner making it
accessible by "Everyone".

The vulnerability has been reported in version 3.5x on Windows
systems.

SOLUTION:
Version 3.6 is not vulnerable as it doesn't use the Open Transaction
Manager.

Further information is available in VERITAS Technote 264538:
