Symantec Veritas Storage Foundation NULL NTLMSSP Authentication Security Bypass

Publish date: February 15, 2011
  Severity: CRITICAL
  CVE Identifier: CVE-2008-3703
  Advisory Date: FEB 15, 2011

  DESCRIPTION

 The management console in the Volume Manager Scheduler Service (aka VxSchedService.exe) in Symantec Veritas Storage Foundation for Windows (SFW) 5.0, 5.0 RP1a, and 5.1 accepts NULL NTLMSSP authentication, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via requests to the service socket that create "snapshots schedules" registry values specifying future command execution.  NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-2279.
