Title: CA ARCserve Backup caloggerd and xdr Functions
Vulnerabilities
CA Advisory Date: 2008-05-19
Reported By: An anonymous researcher working with the iDefense VCP
Damian Put working with ZDI/TippingPoint
Impact: A remote attacker can cause a denial of service or execute
arbitrary code.
Summary: CA ARCserve Backup contains multiple vulnerabilities that
can allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service or
execute arbitrary code. CA has issued patches to address the
vulnerabilities. The first vulnerability, CVE-2008-2241, is due to
insufficient path verification by the logging service, caloggerd.
An attacker can append data to arbitrary files, which can lead to
system compromise. The second vulnerability, CVE-2008-2242, is due
to insufficient bounds checking by multiple xdr functions. An
attacker can cause an overflow and execute arbitrary code.
Mitigating Factors: These issues affect only the server
installation.
Severity: CA has given these vulnerabilities a maximum risk rating
of High.

How to determine if you are affected:
For Windows:
1. Using Windows Explorer, locate the file "caloggerd.exe". By
default, the file is located in the
"C:\Program Files\CA\BrightStor ARCserve Backup" directory.
2. Right click on the file and select Properties.
3. Select the General tab.
4. If the file timestamp is earlier than indicated in the below
table, the installation is vulnerable.
Product Version File Name Timestamp File Size
11.5 caloggerd.exe 05/18/2007 10:55:48 299008 bytes
11.1 caloggerd.exe 05/18/2007 11:30:52 286720 bytes
* For Protection Suites r2 , use the file timestamp for CA
ARCserve Backup r11.5.
For Linux/x86/IA-64/x86_64, Tru64, HP-UX, Solaris, Linux/s390:
Examine the file RELVERSION to determine the version. This can be
done with the following command from a shell:
cat $BAB_HOME/data/RELVERSION
If the build number is below 2427, the installation is vulnerable.
