A vulnerability exists that can allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. CA has issued an Information Solution to address the vulnerability. The vulnerability is due to default vulnerabilities inherent in the Tomcat and Axis2 3rd party software components. A remote attacker can exploit the implementation to execute arbitrary code. Risk Rating High Platform Windows Affected Products CA ARCserve D2D r15 How to determine if the installation is affected Using Windows Explorer, go to the directory "\TOMCAT\webapps\WebServiceImpl", and look for the existence of a folder called "axis2-web".
