Shirk has discovered a vulnerability in CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service). The vulnerability is caused due to a NULL pointer dereference error when handling TADDR2UADDR (0x08) request types within the CA Remote Procedure Call Server service (CATIRPC.EXE). This can be exploited to crash the service by sending a specially crafted packet to port 111/UDP. The vulnerability is confirmed in version r11.5 SP2. Other versions may also be affected.
