CA20091008-01: Security Notice for CA Anti-Virus Engine
Issued: October 8, 2009
CA's support is alerting customers to multiple security risks
associated with CA Anti-Virus Engine. Vulnerabilities exist in
the arclib component that can allow a remote attacker to cause a
denial of service, or to cause heap corruption and potentially
further compromise a system. CA has issued fixes to address the
vulnerabilities.
The first vulnerability, CVE-2009-3587, is due to improper
handling of a specially crafted RAR archive file by the CA
Anti-Virus engine arclib component. An attacker can create a
malformed RAR archive file that results in heap corruption and
allows the attacker to cause a denial of service or possibly
further compromise the system.
The second vulnerability, CVE-2009-3588, is due to improper
handling of a specially crafted RAR archive file by the CA
Anti-Virus engine arclib component. An attacker can create a
malformed RAR archive file that results in stack corruption and
allows the attacker to cause a denial of service.

Non-Affected Products
CA Anti-Virus engine with arclib version 8.1.4.0 or later
installed
How to determine if the installation is affected
For products on Windows:
1. Using Windows Explorer, locate the file "arclib.dll". By
default, the file is located in the
"C:\Program Files\CA\SharedComponents\ScanEngine" directory (*).
2. Right click on the file and select Properties.
3. Select the Version tab.
4. If the file version is earlier than indicated below, the
installation is vulnerable.
File Name File Version
arclib.dll 8.1.4.0
*For eTrust Intrusion Detection 2.0, the file is located in
"Program Files\eTrust\Intrusion Detection\Common", and for eTrust
Intrusion Detection 3.0 and 3.0 sp1, the file is located in
"Program Files\CA\Intrusion Detection\Common".
For CA Anti-Virus r8.1 on non-Windows platforms:
Use the compver utility provided on the CD to determine the
version of Arclib. If the version is less than 8.1.4.0, the
installation is vulnerable.
Example compver utility output:
------------------------------------------------
COMPONENT NAME VERSION
------------------------------------------------
eTrust Antivirus Arclib Archive Library 8.1.4.0
... (followed by other components)
For reference, the following are file names for arclib on
non-Windows operating systems:
Operating System File name
Solaris libarclib.so
Linux libarclib.so
Mac OS X arclib.bundle
Solution
CA released arclib 8.1.4.0 on August 12 2009. If your product is
configured for automatic updates, you should already be protected,
and you need to take no action. If your product is not configured
for automatic updates, then you simply need to run the update
utility included with your product.

CA ARCserve for Linux:
1. Download RO10729.tar.Z from RO10729 into a temporary location
/tmp/RO10729
2. Uncompress and untar RO10729.tar.Z as follows:
uncompress RO10729.tar.Z
tar -xvf RO10729.tar
The new "libarclib.so" will be extracted to /tmp/RO10729
3. Change the directory to $CAIGLBL0000/ino/config as follows:
cd $CAIGLBL0000/ino/config
4. Rename "libarclib.so" to "libarclib.so.RO10729" as follows:
mv libarclib.so libarclib.so.RO10729
5. Copy the new libarclib.so as follows:
cp /tmp/RO10729/libarclib.so $CAIGLBL0000/ino/config/
6. chmod +x $CAIGLBL0000/ino/config/libarclib.so
7. Stop the common agent (caagent stop)
8. Change the directory to ARCserve common agent directory
(typically /opt/CA/BABcmagt)
cd /opt/CA/BABcmagt
Note: To find out the agent home directory run the following
command:
dirname 'ls -l /usr/bin/caagent |cut -f2 -d">"'
9. Save a copy of libarclib.so
cp -p libarclib.so libarclib.so.RO10729
10. Copy over the new libarclib.so as follows:
cp $/tmp/RO10729/libarclib.so.
11. Start the common agent (caagent start)
12. Repeat steps (7-11) on all remote Linux client agents'
installations.
13. rm -rf /tmp/RO10729
Workaround
Do not open email attachments or download files from untrusted
sources.
