CVE-2009-3587

TITLE

plural CA Product Anti-Virus In the engine arclib Vulnerability in arbitrary code execution in components

DESCRIPTION

Unspecified vulnerability in the arclib component in the Anti-Virus engine in CA Anti-Virus for the Enterprise (formerly eTrust Antivirus) 7.1 through r8.1; Anti-Virus 2007 (v8) through 2009; eTrust EZ Antivirus r7.1; Internet Security Suite 2007 (v3) through Plus 2009; and other CA products allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted RAR archive file that triggers heap corruption, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-3588. This vulnerability CVE-2009-3588 Is a different vulnerability.Skillfully crafted by a third party RAR Service disruption via archive files (DoS) Could be put into a state or execute arbitrary code. Multiple Computer Associates products are prone to memory-corruption vulnerabilities that affect the Anti-Virus engine. An attacker can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected applications or cause denial-of-service conditions. The issues affect the Anti-Virus engine with versions prior to 'arclib' 8.1.4.0. Computer Associates is the world's leading security vendor, products include a variety of anti-virus software and backup recovery systems. CA20091008-01: Security Notice for CA Anti-Virus Engine Issued: October 8, 2009 CA's support is alerting customers to multiple security risks associated with CA Anti-Virus Engine. Vulnerabilities exist in the arclib component that can allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service, or to cause heap corruption and potentially further compromise a system. CA has issued fixes to address the vulnerabilities. An attacker can create a malformed RAR archive file that results in heap corruption and allows the attacker to cause a denial of service or possibly further compromise the system. An attacker can create a malformed RAR archive file that results in stack corruption and allows the attacker to cause a denial of service.

Using Windows Explorer, locate the file "arclib.dll". By default, the file is located in the "C:\Program Files\CA\SharedComponents\ScanEngine" directory (*). 2. Right click on the file and select Properties. 3. Select the Version tab. 4. If the file version is earlier than indicated below, the installation is vulnerable. File Name File Version arclib.dll 8.1.4.0 *For eTrust Intrusion Detection 2.0, the file is located in "Program Files\eTrust\Intrusion Detection\Common", and for eTrust Intrusion Detection 3.0 and 3.0 sp1, the file is located in "Program Files\CA\Intrusion Detection\Common". For CA Anti-Virus r8.1 on non-Windows platforms: Use the compver utility provided on the CD to determine the version of Arclib. If the version is less than 8.1.4.0, the installation is vulnerable. Example compver utility output: ------------------------------------------------ COMPONENT NAME VERSION ------------------------------------------------ eTrust Antivirus Arclib Archive Library 8.1.4.0 ... (followed by other components) For reference, the following are file names for arclib on non-Windows operating systems: Operating System File name Solaris libarclib.so Linux libarclib.so Mac OS X arclib.bundle Solution CA released arclib 8.1.4.0 on August 12 2009. If your product is configured for automatic updates, you should already be protected, and you need to take no action. If your product is not configured for automatic updates, then you simply need to run the update utility included with your product.

Download RO10729.tar.Z from RO10729 into a temporary location /tmp/RO10729 2. Uncompress and untar RO10729.tar.Z as follows: uncompress RO10729.tar.Z tar -xvf RO10729.tar The new "libarclib.so" will be extracted to /tmp/RO10729 3. Change the directory to $CAIGLBL0000/ino/config as follows: cd $CAIGLBL0000/ino/config 4. Rename "libarclib.so" to "libarclib.so.RO10729" as follows: mv libarclib.so libarclib.so.RO10729 5. Copy the new libarclib.so as follows: cp /tmp/RO10729/libarclib.so $CAIGLBL0000/ino/config/ 6. chmod +x $CAIGLBL0000/ino/config/libarclib.so 7. Stop the common agent (caagent stop) 8. Change the directory to ARCserve common agent directory (typically /opt/CA/BABcmagt) cd /opt/CA/BABcmagt Note: To find out the agent home directory run the following command: dirname 'ls -l /usr/bin/caagent |cut -f2 -d">"' 9. Save a copy of libarclib.so cp -p libarclib.so libarclib.so.RO10729 10. Copy over the new libarclib.so as follows: cp $/tmp/RO10729/libarclib.so. 11. Start the common agent (caagent start) 12. Repeat steps (7-11) on all remote Linux client agents' installations. 13. rm -rf /tmp/RO10729 Workaround Do not open email attachments or download files from untrusted sources.
