CA's support is alerting customers to multiple security risks with CA XOsoft products. Multiple vulnerabilities exist that can allow a remote attacker to gain sensitive information, cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. CA has issued patches to address the vulnerabilities.

The first vulnerability, CVE-2010-1221, occurs due to a lack of authentication. An attacker can make a SOAP request to enumerate user names. This vulnerability has a low risk rating and affects r12.0 and r12.5 XOsoft products.

The second vulnerability, CVE-2010-1222, occurs due to a lack of authentication. An attacker can make a SOAP request to gain potentially sensitive information. This vulnerability has a low risk rating and affects only r12.5 XOsoft products.

The third set of vulnerabilities, CVE-2010-1223, occurs due to insufficient bounds checking. An attacker can make a request that can cause a buffer overflow which may result in a crash or possibly code execution. These vulnerabilities have a high risk rating and affect r12.0 and r12.5 XOsoft products.
