Description: Some vulnerabilities have been reported in BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Laptops & Desktops, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or compromise a vulnerable system.
1) An error in the handling of packets within the Mobile Backup Service process (LGSERVER.EXE) can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via sending a specially crafted packet containing an overly long string (greater than 65535 bytes) to port 2200/TCP.
2) An error in the handling of packets within the Mobile Backup Service process (LGSERVER.EXE) can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via sending an overly long, specially crafted packet to port 1900/TCP.
3) An error in the handling of packets within the Mobile Backup Service process (LGSERVER.EXE) can be exploited to terminate the process via sending a series of specially crafted packets to port 2200/TCP.
4) An error in the handling of packets within the Mobile Backup Service process (LGSERVER.EXE) can be exploited to cause a very large file to be written to the disk or cause the process to become unresponsive via sending a series of specially crafted packets to port 2200/TCP.
