Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or to compromise a vulnerable system.
1) Errors within the management service when handling multipart/form-data in HTTP POST requests can be exploited to crash the service or cause a heap corruption via specially crafted HTTP POST requests to ports 443/TCP and 8080/TCP of the management service.
2) Boundary errors within the rembo.exe service when processing HTTP requests can be exploited to cause stack-based buffer overflows via specially crafted requests with an overly long (greater than 150 bytes) filename, Host, or Authorization field sent to default port 8080/TCP.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerabilities are reported in version 5.1.0.116. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Apply fix pack 5.1.0-TIV-TPMOSD-IF0002.
