Buffer overflow in the data management protocol in Symantec Backup Exec for Windows Servers 11.0 (aka 11d) builds 6235 and 7170, 12.0 build 1364, and 12.5 build 2213 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors. NOTE: this can be exploited by unauthenticated remote attackers by leveraging CVE-2008-5407.

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the Backup Exec remote-agent logon process in Symantec Backup Exec for Windows Servers 11.0 (aka 11d) builds 6235 and 7170, 12.0 build 1364, and 12.5 build 2213 allow remote attackers to bypass authentication, and read or delete files, via unknown vectors.

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the PVATLCalendar.PVCalendar.1 ActiveX control in pvcalendar.ocx in the scheduler component in the Media Server in Symantec Backup Exec for Windows Server (BEWS) 11d 11.0.6235 and 11.0.7170, and 12.0 12.0.1364, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long (1) _DOWText0, (2) _DOWText1, (3) _DOWText2, (4) _DOWText3, (5) _DOWText4, (6) _DOWText5, (7) _DOWText6, (8) _MonthText0, (9) _MonthText1, (10) _MonthText2, (11) _MonthText3, (12) _MonthText4, (13) _MonthText5, (14) _MonthText6, (15) _MonthText7, (16) _MonthText8, (17) _MonthText9, (18) _MonthText10, or (19) _MonthText11 property value when executing the Save method. NOTE: the vendor states "Authenticated user involvement required," but authentication is not needed to attack a client machine that loads this control.

The PVATLCalendar.PVCalendar.1 ActiveX control in pvcalendar.ocx in the scheduler component in the Media Server in Symantec Backup Exec for Windows Server (BEWS) 11d 11.0.6235 and 11.0.7170, and 12.0 12.0.1364, exposes the unsafe Save method, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (browser crash), or create or overwrite arbitrary files, via string values of the (1) _DOWText0, (2) _DOWText1, (3) _DOWText2, (4) _DOWText3, (5) _DOWText4, (6) _DOWText5, (7) _DOWText6, (8) _MonthText0, (9) _MonthText1, (10) _MonthText2, (11) _MonthText3, (12) _MonthText4, (13) _MonthText5, (14) _MonthText6, (15) _MonthText7, (16) _MonthText8, (17) _MonthText9, (18) _MonthText10, and (19) _MonthText11 properties. NOTE: the vendor states "Authenticated user involvement required," but authentication is not needed to attack a client machine that loads this control.

Unspecified vulnerability in the client in Symantec Veritas Backup Exec for Windows Servers 11d has unknown impact and remote attack vectors. NOTE: this information is based upon a vague advisory by a vulnerability information sales organization that does not coordinate with vendors or release actionable advisories. A CVE has been assigned for tracking purposes, but duplicates with other CVEs are difficult to determine.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the RPC subsystem in Symantec Backup Exec for Windows Servers 10.0, 10d, and 11d allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (process exit) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted ncacn_ip_tcp requests.

Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in Symantec VERITAS Backup Exec for Netware Server Remote Agent for Windows Server 9.1 and 9.2 (all builds), Backup Exec Continuous Protection Server Remote Agent for Windows Server 10.1 (builds 10.1.325.6301, 10.1.326.1401, 10.1.326.2501, 10.1.326.3301, and 10.1.327.401), and Backup Exec for Windows Server and Remote Agent 9.1 (build 9.1.4691), 10.0 (builds 10.0.5484 and 10.0.5520), and 10.1 (build 10.1.5629) allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted RPC message.

Unspecified vulnerability in Veritas Backup Exec for Windows Server Remote Agent 9.1 through 10.1, for Netware Servers and Remote Agent 9.1 and 9.2, and Remote Agent for Linux Servers 10.0 and 10.1 allow attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash or unavailability) due to "memory errors."
