VULNERABILITY DETAILS

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of HP StorageWorks Storage Mirroring. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.

The flaw exists within the DoubleTake.exe component which listens by default on TCP port 6320.
