Computer Associates Arcserve overflow is tested by :

- arcserve_universalagent_overflow.nasl / plugin id 18041 (safe network test)

There is a test to detect a default password too :

- arcserve_default_password.nasl / plugin id 16390 (safe network test)



Veritas Backup Exec is tested by :

- veritas_backup_exec_overflow.nasl / plugin id 16230 . This plugin requires Windows credentials.
- veritas_backup_exec_overflow2.nasl / plugin id 16232. This plugin is a destructive attack and can crash the service (you need to disable 'safe checks' option).
- veritas_agent_overflow.nasl / plugin id 18551. This plugin is a destructive attack and can crash the service (you need to disable 'safe checks' option).


There is no way to do a 'safe network check' to detect if Veritas Backup Exec is patched or not.


And in addition, BakBone NetVault is tested by :

- netvault_remote_hbof.nasl / plugin id 18257 (safe network test)

Do users in the Nessus community anticipate that new plug-ins will be developed shortly to scan for vulnerabilities associated to the Veritas and Computer Associates backup products? Yesterday, the SANS group (www.sans.org) published a Q2 update of the newest vulnerabilities discovered in the last 3 months. The vulnerabilities for these two software products were referenced as being “critical”. SANS did not associate these vulnerabilities to an existing Top 20 category item, but the vulnerabilities would involve Windows and Unix systems.



Our group has used Nessus for a couple years to scan critical servers in relation to auditing at various locations. We have become proficient with use of the tool, but we do not at this time have the technical capability to write our scripts.
