===============
1) Introduction
===============


The Acronis Agent is an essential component of Acronis True Image Echo
Server (Workstation and Enterprise packages) and is a server running on
the TCP and UDP port 9876 which allows the local and remote management
of Acronis TrueImage.

The Acronis True Image Windows Agent must be not confused with the
Acronis Snap Deploy Management Agent which uses the same ports but a
different protocol and so it's not affected by this bug.

2) Bug

A NULL pointer vulnerability can be exploited through the sending of a
malformed packet to the server causing its immediate termination.
