CVE-2009-0311
The Backbone service (ftbackbone.exe) in EMC AutoStart before 5.3 SP2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a packet with a crafted value that is dereferenced as a function pointer.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.70%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
