Release of Arkeia Network Backup 5.3.5 fixes security issue

[Arnaud Spicht <aspicht () arkeia com>]

After carefully examining issues recently discussed in public technical 
forums, Arkeia Corp. has immediately released a new version to block any 
potential invasion of Arkeia protected networks.

ANB 5.3.5 fixes a buffer overflow bug that could allow a remote attacker 
to remotely execute arbitrary code, and thereby get root access to the 
machine.

The fix is also applicable to previous versions of Arkeia (5.1, 5.2, 
Arkeia Light). The appropriate packages can be found on the Arkeia websites:

    * http://www.arkeia.com/donwload/anb/ (Version 5.3.5)
    * http://www.arkeia.com/donwload/52/ (Version 5.2.28)
    * http://www.arkeia.com/donwload/51/ (Version 5.1.21)


For Arkeia light: http://www.arkeia.org/download/light/

If you are using Arkeia in an untrusted environment such as a publicly 
accessible Web server or corporate mail gateway, it is strongly advised 
to upgrade to this version. The bug is in the arkeiad daemon process, 
making it necessary to upgrade all the sensitive client machines.

Arkeia users should also remember to take into account Arkeia security 
recommendations in the Arkeia User Manual "Appendix B: System Security." 
We urge you to read again the sections describing how to secure Arkeia 
against system-level intrusion.
