CVE-2007-0449 is a buffer overflow vulnerability in the LGSERVER.EXE component of CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Laptops and Desktops (r11.0 through r11.1 SP1), Mobile Backup r4.0, Desktop and Business Protection Suite r2, and Desktop Management Suite (DMS) r11.0 and r11.1. The vulnerability arises from insufficient validation of user-supplied data in network requests sent to TCP ports 1900 and 2200, allowing remote unauthenticated attackers to trigger buffer overflows and execute arbitrary code with System privileges.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/windows/brightstor/lgserver.rb) that exploits a stack buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2007-0449) in Computer Associates BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Laptops & Desktops version 11.1, specifically targeting the LGServer service running on Windows 2000 Professional. The exploit works by sending a specially crafted payload to TCP port 1900, overflowing a buffer and overwriting the Structured Exception Handler (SEH) to execute arbitrary code. The module leverages Metasploit's payload system, allowing the attacker to run custom shellcode (such as a reverse shell) on the target. The code is operational and ready for use within the Metasploit framework, requiring the target service to be accessible over the network. The repository is structured as a typical Metasploit exploit module, with all relevant exploit logic contained in a single Ruby file.
