Veritas BackupExec (remote DoS)

Hello, I am using Backup system from Veritas Software (http://www.veritas.com/) and its Linux agent. That agent is listening TCP-socket (8192 in my system) and if someone makes connection to that socket, but do not send anything to it, the agent hangs forever, even if you close that connection. For example portscanners make it to hang. I think that the problem is that the software is not using select() function calls before read() calls and it is not using threads either. I reported that to the Veritas and they replied "Unfortunately our Backup Exec Desktop Products do not support backing up Linux machines. I'm afraid we would be unable to assist you in this instance, however thank you for your interest." -- Ari Saastamoinen oh3mqu+bugtraq () teraflops com
