Loading vulnerability…
CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Laptops and Desktops r11.0 through r11.5 contains multiple stack-based buffer overflows in rxRPC.dll. The flaws are reachable through the rxrLogin command when supplied an overly long username or password, and through the GetUserInfo function when supplied an overly long username argument. Successful exploitation allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in Computer Associates BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Laptops & Desktops version 11.1.742 (CVE-2007-5003). The exploit connects to the LGServer service on TCP port 1900 and sends a specially crafted 'rxrLogin' RPC command with an oversized buffer, allowing for arbitrary code execution. The module includes a version check by sending the 'rxrGetServerVersion' command and looking for the vulnerable version string. The payload is customizable via Metasploit and supports up to 550 bytes, with null bytes avoided. The exploit targets Windows 2000 SP4 and Windows 2003 SP0 (English) with specific return addresses for reliable exploitation. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit module, making it easy to use within the framework for penetration testing or red teaming purposes.
