DESCRIPTION:
class101 has reported some vulnerabilities in BakBone NetVault, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable
system.

communication handling. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based
buffer overflow by sending some specially crafted traffic to port
20031.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
NOTE: Exploit code is publicly available.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in versions 6.x and 7.x. Other
