Comment: This bulletin contains three iDefense advisories.

- --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT--------------------

iDefense Security Advisory 04.09.08
http://labs.idefense.com/intelligence/vulnerabilities/
Apr 09, 2008

I. BACKGROUND

EMC DiskXtender is a data backup and migration suite. It consists of
several applications that are used to manage storing large quantities
of files across multiple storage devices. One of the components of
DiskXtender is the MediaStor, which is used to provide support for a
variety of media and device types. For more information see the
vendor's website at the following URL.

http://software.emc.com/products/product_family/diskxtender_family.htm

II. DESCRIPTION

Remote exploitation of a format string vulnerability in EMC Corp.'s
DiskXtender could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the affected service.

When handling requests on the RPC interface with UUID
b157b800-aef5-11d3-ae49-00600834c15f, the service does not properly
validate the content of a string in requests. Since this string is
passed directly to a formatting function, a format string vulnerability
occurs.

III. ANALYSIS

Exploitation of this vulnerability results in the execution of arbitrary
code with the privileges of the affected service, usually SYSTEM. In
order to exploit this vulnerability, authentication is required.

IV. DETECTION

iDefense confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in DiskXtender
version 6.20.060 for Windows. Previous versions may also be affected.

V. WORKAROUND

iDefense is currently unaware of any effective workaround for this
issue.

VI. VENDOR RESPONSE

"EMC has issued updates to correct this issue. More details can be found
in knowledgebase article emc184091 available from powerlink.emc.com. EMC
customers can further contact EMC Software Technical Support at
1-877-534-2867."

VII. CVE INFORMATION

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the
name CVE-2008-0963 to this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in
the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org/), which standardizes names for
security problems.

VIII. DISCLOSURE TIMELINE

iDefense Security Advisory 04.09.08
http://labs.idefense.com/intelligence/vulnerabilities/
Apr 09, 2008

I. BACKGROUND

EMC DiskXtender is a data backup and migration suite. It consists of
several applications that are used to manage storing large quantities
of files across multiple storage devices. One of the components of
DiskXtender is the File System Manager, which is used to create and
manage backups. For more information see the vendor's website at the
following URL.

http://software.emc.com/products/product_family/diskxtender_family.htm

II. DESCRIPTION

Remote exploitation of a buffer overflow vulnerability in EMC Corp.'s
DiskXtender could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the affected service.

The File System Manager is prone to a stack-based buffer overflow
vulnerability. When handling requests on the RPC interface with UUID
b157b800-aef5-11d3-ae49-00600834c15f, the service does not properly
validate the length of a string in the request. By making a specially
crafted request, a stack based buffer overflow occurs.

III. ANALYSIS

Exploitation of this vulnerability results in the execution of arbitrary
code with the privileges of the affected service, usually SYSTEM. In
order to exploit this vulnerability, authentication is required.

IV. DETECTION

iDefense confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in DiskXtender
version 6.20.060 for Windows. Previous versions may also be affected.

V. WORKAROUND

iDefense is currently unaware of any effective workaround for this
issue.

iDefense Security Advisory 04.09.08
http://labs.idefense.com/intelligence/vulnerabilities/
Apr 09, 2008

I. BACKGROUND

EMC DiskXtender is a data backup and migration suite. It consists of
several applications that are used to manage storing large quantities
of files across multiple storage devices. The main components of the
product suite are the File System Manager, the MediaStor and the
License Server. These components all create RPC endpoints that can be
accessed remotely. For more information see the vendor's website at the
following URL.

http://software.emc.com/products/product_family/diskxtender_family.htm

II. DESCRIPTION

Remote exploitation of an authentication bypass vulnerability in EMC
Corp.'s DiskXtender could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Each of the main components of the DiskXtender suite is vulnerable to an
authentication bypass vulnerability. Specifically, the authentication
code contains a hard-coded login and password. By connecting to the RPC
interface, and logging on with these credentials, it is possible to
bypass the normal authentication process.

III. ANALYSIS

Exploitation of this vulnerability results in an unauthenticated
attacker gaining administrative access to the DiskXtender server. This
allows an attacker to create and delete files on the backup server, and
run other DiskXtender commands. This could potentially lead to the
execution of arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.

IV. DETECTION

iDefense confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in DiskXtender
version 6.20.060 for Windows. Previous versions may also be affected.

V. WORKAROUND

iDefense is currently unaware of any effective workaround for this
issue.

VI. VENDOR RESPONSE

VII. CVE INFORMATION

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the
name CVE-2008-0961 to this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in
the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org/), which standardizes names for
