IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack 5.5.x / 6.1.x < 6.1.12.2 Multiple Vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Plugin ID 89788

Synopsis

The remote backup service is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack running on the remote host is 5.5.x or 6.1.x prior to 6.1.12.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- Multiple buffer overflow conditions exist in server command processing due to improper bounds checking of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these to cause a buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code with system privileges. (CVE-2015-8519, CVE-2015-8520, CVE-2015-8521, CVE-2015-8522)

- A denial of service vulnerability exists that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to shut down the service via a specially crafted TCP packet.
(CVE-2015-8523)

Solution

Upgrade to IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack version 6.1.12.2 or later.
