Loading vulnerability…
Stack-based buffer overflow in the Backup Agent for Microsoft SQL Server component of Computer Associates BrightStor ARCserve Backup Agent for SQL Server 11.0. The agent fails to properly bound-check a long string received over the network, allowing a remote attacker to overflow a stack buffer by sending an overly long string to the service listening on TCP port 6070 or 6050, potentially resulting in execution of attacker-controlled code in the context of the Backup Agent process.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (Ruby file) that exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2005-1272) in the CA BrightStor Agent for Microsoft SQL Server. The exploit targets the service running on TCP port 6070 and is capable of delivering arbitrary payloads (such as reverse shells) to the vulnerable system. The module supports multiple target versions, including specific versions of ARCServe and various Windows operating systems. The exploit works by sending a specially crafted buffer to the service, overwriting the return address to redirect execution to the injected payload. The code is operational and leverages the Metasploit framework for payload handling and session management. No hardcoded IP addresses or URLs are present; the only fingerprintable endpoint is the default TCP port 6070.
