Original NVD Description

Heap-based buffer overflow in the Veritas Enterprise Administrator (VEA) service (aka vxsvc.exe) in Symantec Veritas Storage Foundation 5.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a packet with a crafted value of a certain size field, which is not checked for consistency with the actual buffer size.
