DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in various CA products, which
can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service).

1) The DM Primer (DMPrimer) service fails to handle the WSAEMESGSIZE
error condition when an overly large UDP packet is received. This can
be exploited to cause the service to stop responding.

2) An error in DM Primer in the handling of certain unrecognized
network messages can be exploited to cause high CPU utilisation and
excessive growth of the DM Primer log file.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in DM Primer version 1.4.154
and 1.4.155 distributed with following products:
* BrightStor Mobile Backup r4.0
* BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Laptops & Desktops r11.0, r11.1,
r11.1 SP1
* Unicenter Remote Control 6.0, 6.0 SP1
* CA Desktop Protection Suite r2
* CA Server Protection Suite r2
* CA Business Protection Suite r2
* CA Business Protection Suite for Microsoft Small Business Server
Standard Edition r2
* CA Business Protection Suite for Microsoft Small Business Server
Premium Edition r2
* CA Business Protection Suite for Midsize Business for Windows r2

SOLUTION:
The vendor recommends uninstalling the DM Primer service since it is
only utilised for the initial installation of the products. See
vendor's original advisory for instructions.
