-- Vulnerability Details:
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on
vulnerable installations of CA Total Defense Suite. Authentication is
not required to exploit this vulnerability.

The specific flaw exists within the DeleteReportLayout stored procedure,
accessed via the management.asmx console. The Management Web Service
listens for SOAP 1.2 requests on port 34444 for HTTP and 34443 for
HTTPS. Due to a flaw in the implementation of the DeleteReportLayout
stored procedure, it is possible for a remote, un-authenticated user to
inject arbitrary SQL commands in the SOAP request which could ultimately
lead to arbitrary code execution under the context of the SYSTEM user by
invoking an exec function.

-- Vendor Response:
CA has issued an update to correct this vulnerability. More
