DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Symantec Veritas
Netbackup, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
vulnerable system.

1) A logic error in the main Netbackup service (bpcd.exe) can be
exploited via command chaining to make the service execute arbitrary
commands.

2) A boundary error in the main Netbackup service (bpcd.exe) when
parsing long requests can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer
overflow by passing an overly long request with a malformed length
field to the service.

3) A boundary error in the main Netbackup service (bpcd.exe) when
parsing CONNECT_OPTIONS requests can be exploited to cause a
stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long request.
