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.
