Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in VERITAS NetBackup, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a format string error in the Java user-interface authentication service (bpjava-msvc) daemon when handling the "COMMAND_LOGON_TO_MSERVER" command. The "bpjava-msvc" daemon runs on both the server and agent.
Successful exploitation allows arbitrary code execution with root or SYSTEM privileges but requires access to port 13722/tcp.
The vulnerability has been reported in the following versions:
* VERITAS NetBackup Data and Business Center version 4.5FP
* VERITAS NetBackup Data and Business Center version 4.5MP
* VERITAS NetBackup Enterprise/Server/Client version 5.0
* VERITAS NetBackup Enterprise/Server/Client version 5.1
* VERITAS NetBackup Enterprise/Server/Client version 6.0
NOTE: An exploit for the vulnerability is publicly available.
