CVE-2013-2330
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedUnspecified vulnerability in HP Storage Data Protector 6.20, 6.21, 7.00, and 7.01 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors, aka ZDI-CAN-1638.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceHP Storage Data Protector versions 6.20, 6.21, 7.00, and 7.01 contain an unspecified vulnerability (ZDI-CAN-1638) that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code without authentication. The critical nature (CVSS 10) indicates the exploit is network-exploitable and requires no user interaction or credentials.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm HP Storage Data Protector installationLook for the Data Protector installation directory (typically under C:\Program Files\HP\Data Protector or /opt/HP/Data Protector on Unix), or check for the 'OmniInet' or 'Data Protector' Windows service or Unix daemonAffected if The software is installed on the system
-
Identify installed versionCheck the version by examining the Data Protector client or server binaries, the installation directory for a version file, or query the installed packages via system inventory toolsAffected if The version returned matches 6.20, 6.21, 7.00, or 7.01 exactly
-
Compare version against affected rangeVerify the exact version number against the affected versions: 6.20, 6.21, 7.00, or 7.01Affected if The installed version is one of these four specific versions
-
Assess network exposure of Data Protector servicesCheck if the Data Protector INET service (port 5555 by default) or other Data Protector ports are listening on externally accessible network interfaces, or verify firewall rules allow inbound accessAffected if The service is reachable from untrusted networks and the version is affected
You are affected if HP Storage Data Protector is installed and the version is exactly 6.20, 6.21, 7.00, or 7.01 with network accessibility to the service.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade to HP Storage Data Protector version 7.02 or later, which contains the patch for this vulnerability. If upgrading is not immediately feasible, network segmentation and restricting access to the Data Protector service ports can reduce exposure.
