HP ArcSight Logger 6.0.0.7307.1, ArcSight Command Center 6.8.0.1896.0, and ArcSight Connector Appliance 6.4.0.6881.3 use the root account to execute files owned by the arcsight user, which might allow local users to gain privileges by leveraging arcsight account access.

HP ArcSight Logger before 6.0 P2 does not limit attempts to authenticate to the SOAP interface, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via a brute-force approach.
