Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in CA Business Protection Suite up to R2. This affects an unknown part in the library asdbapi.dll of the component RPC Interface. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22. 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. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Directory traversal vulnerability in the RPC interface (asdbapi.dll) in CA ARCserve Backup (formerly BrightStor ARCserve Backup) r11.1 through r12.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a .. (dot dot) in an RPC call with opnum 0x10A.

The bug was discovered 10/09/2008. The weakness was released 10/14/2008 by eEye Digital Security with eEye Digital Security (Website). The advisory is shared at support.ca.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2008-4397 since 10/02/2008. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1006 for this issue.

It is declared as highly functional. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 5 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $5k-$25k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 34393 (CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup RPC Interface (asdbapi.dll) Traversal Arbitrary Command Execution), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Windows and running in the context r.

Upgrading eliminates this vulnerability. Furthermore it is possible to detect and prevent this kind of attack with TippingPoint and the filter 6526.
