Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in EMC Legato NetWorker 7.1.x before 7.1.4 and 7.2.x before 7.2.1.Build.314, and other products such as Sun Solstice Backup (SBU) 6.0 and 6.1 and StorEdge Enterprise Backup Software (EBS) 7.1 through 7.2L, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (unresponsive application) via malformed RPC packets to (1) RPC program number 390109 (nsrd.exe) and (2) RPC program number 390113 (nsrexecd.exe).
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
