IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Client Multiple Vulnerabilities (swg21268775)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 26187

Synopsis

The remote backup client is susceptible to multiple attacks.

Description

The remote host is running an IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) client.

The version of the TSM client installed on the remote host reportedly contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in its Client Acceptor Daemon (CAD) service. Using an HTTP request with a long Host header, a remote attacker may be able to exploit this issue to crash the affected host or to execute arbitrary commands with administrative privileges.

In addition, the use of server-initiated prompted scheduling also may allow unauthorized access to the client's data under certain conditions.

Solution

Upgrade to Tivoli Storage Manager version 5.4.1.2 / 5.3.5.3 / 5.2.5.2 / 5.1.8.1 backup-archive client or the Tivoli Storage Manager Express 5.3.5.3 client.
