CPE, which stands for Common Platform Enumeration, is a standardized scheme for naming hardware, software, and operating systems. CPE provides a structured naming scheme to uniquely identify and classify information technology systems, platforms, and packages based on certain attributes such as vendor, product name, version, update, edition, and language.
CWE, or Common Weakness Enumeration, is a comprehensive list and categorization of software weaknesses and vulnerabilities. It serves as a common language for describing software security weaknesses in architecture, design, code, or implementation that can lead to vulnerabilities.
CAPEC, which stands for Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification, is a comprehensive, publicly available resource that documents common patterns of attack employed by adversaries in cyber attacks. This knowledge base aims to understand and articulate common vulnerabilities and the methods attackers use to exploit them.

The RPC service in mediasvr.exe in CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup 11.5 SP2 build 4237 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted xdr_handle_t data in RPC packets, which is used in calculating an address for a function call, as demonstrated using the 191 (0xbf) RPC request.

EPSS
EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.
EPSS Score
The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile
The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

# Computer Associates (CA) Brightstor Backup Mediasvr.exe Remote Code Exploit
# (Previously Unknown)
#
# There seems to be an design error in the handling of RPC data with xdr procedures
# across several .dll's imported by Mediasvr.exe. Four bytes from an RPC packet are
# processed as a particular address (xdr_handle_t data which is run through multiple bit
# shifts, and reversing of bytes), and eventually loaded into ECX.
#
# The 191 (0xbf) procedure, followed by nulls (at least 8 bytes of nulls, which may
# be Null Credentials and Auth?) leads to an exploitable condition.
#
# .text:0040AACD 008 mov ecx, [esp+8]
# .text:0040AAD1 008 mov dword_418820, esi
# .text:0040AAD7 008 push offset dword_418820
# .text:0040AADC 00C mov eax, [ecx]
# .text:0040AADE 00C call dword ptr [eax+2Ch]
#
# At this point, you have control of ECX (esp+8 is your address data). The data from the packet
# is stored in memory and is relatively static (see NOTE).
#
# The address is then loaded into EAX, and then called as EAX+2Ch, which is
# controllable data from the packet. In this code, I just jump ahead to
# the portbinding shellcode.
#
# NOTE: The only issue I have found is when the system is rebooted, the packet data
# appears at a higher memory location when Mediasvr.exe crashes
# and is restarted. I have accounted for this in the code, when the port that
# Mediasvr.exe is listening on is below TCP port 1100, which is usually only after
# a reboot
#
# This was tested on BrightStor ARCserve Backup 11.5.2.0 (SP2) with the latest
# CA patches on Windows XP SP2 (I believe there is some issue with SP1, which
# is more then likely the memory locations)
#
# The patches include the following updates to Mediasvr.exe
# http://supportconnectw.ca.com/public/storage/infodocs/babimpsec-notice.asp
