CA20101231-01: Security Notice for CA ARCserve D2D
Issued: December 31, 2010

CA Technologies support is alerting customers to a security risk with CA

ARCserve D2D. A vulnerability exists that can allow a remote attacker to

execute arbitrary code.  CA has issued an Information Solution to
address 
the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is due to default vulnerabilities inherent in the
Tomcat 
and Axis2 3rd party software components. A remote attacker can exploit
the 
implementation to execute arbitrary code.


Risk Rating 

High


Platform 

Windows


Affected Products 

CA ARCserve D2D r15


How to determine if the installation is affected 

Using Windows Explorer, go to the directory 
"<D2D_HOME>\TOMCAT\webapps\WebServiceImpl", and look for the existence
of a 
folder called "axis2-web".


Solution

A permanent solution will be posted soon at https://support.ca.com/

In the meantime, the following workaround can be implemented to address
the
vulnerability.

1.  Stop "CA ARCserve D2D Web Service" from service control manager.

2.  Go to the directory "<D2D_HOME>\TOMCAT\webapps\WebServiceImpl", and 
    remove the folder "axis2-web".

3.  Edit "<D2D_HOME>\TOMCAT\webapps\WebServiceImpl\WEB-INF\web.xml", and

    remove the content of AxisAdminServlet's servlet and servlet
mapping. 
 
    The content to remove will look like the text below:
    
    - <servlet>
        <display-name>Apache-Axis Admin Servlet Web Admin</display-name>
        <servlet-name>AxisAdminServlet</servlet-name>
 
<servlet-class>org.apache.axis2.transport.http.AxisAdminServlet</servlet
-class>
        <load-on-startup>100</load-on-startup>
      </servlet>
    - <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>AxisAdminServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/axis2-admin/*</url-pattern>
      </servlet-mapping>

4.  Change the username and password parameters in the axis2.xml file to

    stronger credentials that conform to your organization's password 
    policies. 
    "<D2D_HOME>\TOMCAT\webapps\WebServiceImpl\WEB-INF\conf\axis2.xml"
       
       <parameter name="userName">admin</parameter>
       <parameter name="password">axis2</parameter>    

5.  Start "CA ARCserve D2D Web Service".
