CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
DoS

WHERE:
From local network

SOFTWARE:
BrightStor ARCserve Backup 11.x
http://secunia.com/product/312/
BrightStor ARCserve Backup 11.x (for Windows)
http://secunia.com/product/3099/

DESCRIPTION:
M. Shirk has discovered a vulnerability in CA BrightStor ARCserve
Backup, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS
(Denial of Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to a NULL pointer dereference error
when handling TADDR2UADDR (0x08) request types within the CA Remote
Procedure Call Server service (CATIRPC.EXE). This can be exploited to
crash the service by sending a specially crafted packet to port
111/UDP.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version r11.5 SP2. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Restrict access to the service.
