DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in VERITAS NetBackup, which can be

The vulnerability is caused due to a format string error in the Java
user-interface authentication service (bpjava-msvc) daemon when
handling the "COMMAND_LOGON_TO_MSERVER" command. The "bpjava-msvc"
daemon runs on both the server and agent.

Successful exploitation allows arbitrary code execution with root or
SYSTEM privileges but requires access to port 13722/tcp.
