The implemented patch shows blood trail of Deserialization:
Veeam official KB mentions:
Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows uses Microsoft .NET data serialization mechanisms. A local user may send malicious code to the network port opened by Veeam Agent for Windows Service (TCP 9395 by default), which will not be deserialized properly.
Reviewing process behind the specified port results in finding Veeam.EndPoint.Service.exe
Reviewing Veeam.EndPoint.Service.exe indicates registration of VeeamService for .NET Remoting
Processes communicating with the registered channel gives out information about Veeam.EndPoint.Tray.exe showing this channel gets used by Tray process
Loaded modules by the Tray indicate Veeam.Common.Remoting.dll
Use of TcpClientChannel with enabled Secure
