Symantec VERITAS NetBackup bpcd.exe command execution
| backup-invalid-input (27638) |  High Risk |
Description:
Multiple versions of Symantec Veritas NetBackup products could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands, caused by improper validation of input commands by the NetBackup service (bpcd.exe). A remote authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by appending malicious commands to a valid command, which could be executed on the system with the privileges of the bpcd.exe process.
