Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) Client, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error within dsmcad.exe, which can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted packet via TCP.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability affects the Client Acceptor Daemon (CAD) and the Backup-Archive client scheduler and scheduler service when the option "SCHEDMODE" is set to "PROMPTED".
The vulnerability is reported in the following versions:
* TSM 5.5.0.0 to 5.5.0.7
* TSM 5.4.0.0 to 5.4.2.2
* TSM 5.3.0.0 to 5.3.6.1
* TSM 5.2.0.0 to 5.2.5.2
* TSM 5.1.0.0 to 5.1.8.1
* TSM Express all levels
