Summary:
EMC Data Protection Advisor (DPA) contains vulnerabilities that can potentially
be exploited by malicious users to cause denial of service.
Details:
Two vulnerabilities have been identified in EMC DPA, which can potentially be
exploited by malicious users to cause denial of service.
1. A NULL pointer dereference can occur if specially crafted data is sent to
the Controller, Listener or Collector process (CVE-2012-0406). This can cause
crashes and denial-of-service.
CVSS Base Score is 7.8 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C).
2. A long integer overflow can occur if specially crafted data is sent to the
Controller, Listener or Collector process (CVE-2012-0407). This can cause the
affected thread to busy-wait and use 100% CPU.
CVSS Base Score is 5.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P).
