**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Symantec Backup Exec for Windows Server versions 11.0.6235 through 11.0.7170 Symantec Backup Exec for Windows Server version 12.0.1364 **Description** The issue is related to multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the PVATLCalendar.PVCalendar.1 ActiveX control.

It is noted that while the vendor states authenticated user involvement is required, authentication is not needed to attack a client machine that loads this control. **Recommendations** For Symantec Backup Exec for Windows Server versions 11.0.6235 through 11.0.7170, consider disabling the PVATLCalendar.PVCalendar.1 ActiveX control until a patch is available.
