The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers). An example of a network attack is an attacker causing a denial of service by sending a specially crafted TCP packet across a wide area network (e.g., CVE-2004-0230).
Attack Complexity
Low
AC
The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Privileges Required
None
PR
The attacker is unauthenticated prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction
None
UI
The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker. Examples include: a remote attacker is able to send packets to a target system a locally authenticated attacker executes code to elevate privileges
Scope
Unchanged
S
An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In the case of a vulnerability in a virtualized environment, an exploited vulnerability in one guest instance would not affect neighboring guest instances.
Confidentiality
None
C
There is no impact on the confidentiality of the system; the attacker does not gain the ability to read any data.
Integrity
None
I
There is no impact on the integrity of the system; the attacker does not gain the ability to modify any files or information on the target system.
Availability
High
A
There is a total shutdown of the affected resource. The attacker can deny access to the system or data, potentially causing significant loss to the organization.
Title: CAID 33581 - CA Message Queuing Denial of Service
Vulnerabilities
CA Vulnerability ID: 33581
CA Advisory Date: 2006-02-02
Discovered By: Nicolas Pouvesle of Tenable Network Security
Impact: Remote attacker can cause a denial of service condition.
Summary: The following two security vulnerability issues have been
identified in the CA Message Queuing (CAM / CAFT) software:
1) CAM is vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack when a
specially crafted message is received on TCP port 4105.
2) CAM is vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) through the
spoofing of CAM control messages.
Mitigating Factors: None.
Severity: CA has given these vulnerabilities a Medium risk rating.
Affected Technologies: Please note that the CA Message Queuing

Determining CAM versions:
Simply running camstat will return the version information in the
top line of the output on any platform. The camstat command is
located in the bin subfolder of the installation directory.
The example below indicates that CAM version 1.11 build 27
increment 2 is running.
E:>camstat
CAM - machine.ca.com Version 1.11 (Build 27_2) up 0 days 1:16
Determining the CAM install directory:
Windows: the install location is specified by the %CAI_MSQ%
environment variable
Unix/Linux/Mac: the /etc/catngcampath text file holds the CAM
install location
