Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in various CA products, which could allow attackers to cause a denial of service or compromise a vulnerable system.

The first issue is caused by a directory traversal error in the message engine service whne processing certain RPC call parameters, which could allow attackers to execute arbitrary commands.

The second vulnerability is caused by an error in the tape engine service when processing malformed requests, which could be exploited by attackers to cause a crash.

The third issue is caused by an error in the database engine service when processing malformed requests, which could be exploited by attackers to cause a crash.

The fourth vulnerability is caused due to insufficient validation of authentication credentials, which could allow attackers to crash multiple services via a malformed request.
