Description:
A denial of service vulnerability has been reported within BrightStor. Although the proof-of-concept does not reach an exploitable condition, mildly altering the proof-of-concept will. The vendor has labeled the specific denial of service vulnerabilities with a medium severity. However, because of the simplicity to demonstrate an exploitable condition by altering the supplied proof of concept, eEye Research is designating these vulnerabilities as High severity.
eEye Research is currently investigating the vulnerability and searching for active exploitations and will update this ZDT entry as more information becomes available.
Severity:
High
Code Execution:
Yes
Impact:
Arbitrary code execution as SYSTEM
This vulnerability can be exploited anonymously against BrightStor, allowing for a remote attacker to run arbitrary code under SYSTEM in order to obtain full system access.
Mitigation:
Vendor-supplied mitigation strategy:
1) Rename the "mediasvr.exe" file to a non-functional file name, such as "mediasvc.exe.disable".
2) Restart the CA BrightStor Tape Engine service.
NOTE: This disables command line functionality within BrightStor.
