Synopsis
Arbitrary code can be executed on the remote host.Description
The version of the Scheduler Service component installed as part of Veritas Storage Foundation for Windows on the remote host allows NULL NTLMSSP authentication. If requests can be sent to the TCP service listening on port 4888, a remote attacker can leverage this issue to add, modify, or delete snapshot schedules and consequently to run arbitrary code on the affected host under the context of the SYSTEM user.Solution
Apply the patch as discussed in the vendor's advisory.See Also
