How to determine if you are affected:
1. From the command line, run the following to print the version
of the Apache HTTP Server included with ARCserve Backup:
$BAB_HOME/httpd/httpd -v
Note: On HP-UX the shared library path needs to be modified
prior to running the httpd command:
SHLIB_PATH=$SHLIB_PATH:$BAB_HOME/httpd/lib
export SHLIB_PATH
2. If the displayed version is less than 2.0.63, then the
installation may be vulnerable.
Workaround:
As a workaround solution, disable the Apache HTTP Server with the
"stopgui" command. To re-enable the server, run "startgui".
Stopping the Apache HTTP Server will prevent the ARCserve user
from performing GUI operations. Most of the operations provided by
the GUI can be accomplished via the command line.
Alternatively, restrict remote network access to reduce exposure.
