IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Client Symlink Cross-User Information Disclosure

low Nessus Plugin ID 91981

Language:

Synopsis

A client application installed on the remote Linux host is affected by a local information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

The version of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Client installed on the remote Linux host is 5.5.x prior to 6.3.2.6, 6.4.x prior to 6.4.3.3, or 7.1.x prior to 7.1.6. It is, therefore, affected by an information disclosure vulnerability due to creating temporary files insecurely. A local attacker can exploit this, via a symlink created during archive and retrieve actions, to disclose data from arbitrary accounts.

Solution

Upgrade to Tivoli Storage Manager Client version 6.3.2.6 / 6.4.3.3 / 7.1.6 or later.
