Summary
Veritas Backup Exec 8.5 and earlier requires that the "RestrictAnonymous" registry key for Microsoft Exchange 2000 must be set to 0, which enables anonymous listing of the SAM database and shares.
Risk Assessment
An anonymous attacker can obtain information about user accounts and network shares, facilitating further attacks and reconnaissance in the environment.
Recommendation
Upgrade Veritas Backup Exec to a version later than 8.5 or change the RestrictAnonymous registry key configuration to a value that prevents anonymous enumeration.
