Port 6101 Activity
It appears that we are again seeing an increase in activity being reported on port 6101. http://www.dshield.org/port_report.php?port=6101&recax=1&tarax=2&srcax=2&percent=N&days=40 This port is commonly used by Veritas Backup Exec. If you recall back in late December and early January a bulletin was issued by CIAC indicating that there was a potential buffer overflow vulnerability that exists in the Veritas Backup Exec service processes. http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/bulletins/p-066.shtml Veritas acknowledged that this was an issue and released some hotfixes back in late January. http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/273850.htm If you have not yet applied the appropriate hotfixes - now might be a good time to do it. After all - I would rather you spend your time at home with your family this Easter weekend, not at the shop cleaning up the mess. Deb Hale Handler On Duty |
