The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the Networker Remote Exec Service (nsrexecd.exe). This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a poll or kill request with an overly long, invalid subcmd to the service, which is available via a query to the portmapper on port 111/TCP for service #0x5f3e1, version 1. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code. The vulnerability is reported in version 7.x.x. SOLUTION: The vendor has issued updates to correct this vulnerability. For more information see knowledge base article esg83899 (registration required) or contact the EMC Software Technical Support.
