UDP Console provided by Arcserve contains an incorrectly specified destination in a communication channel vulnerability. When a user configures an activation server hostname of the affected product to a dummy URL, the product may unintentionally communicate with the dummy domain, causing information disclosure.
Technical Analysis

Exploitation does not require any privileges, though user interaction (A) is needed, which slightly reduces the risk of mass automated attacks.
