Multiple Computer Associates products that use DM Primer contain a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when a UDP packet of larger than 1000h is intercepted, and recvfrom triggers an error which returns a -1 value, which will result in loss of availability of the Remote Control service.
