IBM Spectrum Protect Server 7.1.1.0 - 7.1.7.0 SELECT Command RCE

high Nessus Plugin ID 97524

Language:

Synopsis

The backup service installed on the remote host is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

IBM Spectrum Protect, formerly known as Tivoli Storage Manager, installed on the remote host is version 7.1.1.0 through 7.1.7.0. It is, therefore, affected by a buffer overflow condition when handling the SELECT command in a SQL query due to improper validation of input.
An authenticated, remote attacker with TSM administrator privileges can exploit this issue, via a specially crafted SQL query, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to IBM Spectrum Protect Server 7.1.7.100 or later.
