Description

Deserialization of Untrusted Data Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. On start-up, the Enterprise Vault application starts several services that listen on random .NET Remoting TCP ports for possible commands from client applications. These TCP ports can be exploited due to vulnerabilities that are inherent to the .NET Remoting service. A malicious attacker can exploit both TCP remoting services and local IPC services on the Enterprise Vault Server.
