Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the logging functionality of the web server component. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted request with an overly large HTTP request method to an affected system (port TCP/443).
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is reported in version 5.1.0.3.
Solution:
Apply Interim Fix 3, version 5.1.0.3 (5.1.0-TIV-TPMOSD-IF0003). Please see the vendor's advisory for details.
