> DESCRIPTION:
> LSsecurity has reported a vulnerability in BrightStor ARCserver
> Backup, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to
> compromise a vulnerable system.
>

> requests within the Tape Engine service (tapeeng.exe). This can be
> exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted packet
> sent to the service (default port 6502/TCP).
>
> Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
>
> The vulnerability is reported in version 11.5. Other versions may
> also be affected.
