Directory traversal vulnerability in rxRPC.dll in CA (Computer Associates) BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Laptops and Desktops r11.0 through r11.5 allows remote attackers to upload and overwrite arbitrary files via a ..\ (dot dot backslash) sequence in the destination filename argument to sub-function 8 in the rxrReceiveFileFromServer command.
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
