Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in BrightStor ARCserve Backup, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the Backup Agents and can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted string of over 3168 bytes to port 6070.

Successful exploitation allows arbitrary code execution with SYSTEM privileges.
