Symantec Veritas NetBackup: Vulnerabilities in NetBackup Server and Clients

Hi all,

If you are using the Symantec Veritas NetBackup product, please check
this high severity Symantec Security Advisory:

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/security/Content/2006.12.13a.html

SNS does not yet have a way to detect this threat, so your only option
at this point is to use the vendor patch as detailed in the advisory.

As a precaution, you also may want to restrict access to NetBackup ports
using firewall rules. See this Veritas document for more information:

Thanks,

--Karl
