TITLE:
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Client Information Disclosure and Buffer
Overflow

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA26883

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/26883/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information, System access

WHERE:
>From local network

SOFTWARE:
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Client 5.x
http://secunia.com/product/8003/

DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager
(TSM) Client, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose
sensitive information or potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

1) A boundary error within the Client Acceptor Daemon (CAD) can be
exploited to cause a buffer overflow.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

2) An unspecified error when using server-initiated prompted
scheduling can be exploited to e.g. gain access to the client's
data.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, and 5.4
and reportedly affect the following client interfaces:
* The Web client GUI, which uses the CAD
* Backup-Archive client scheduling using the CAD (CAD-managed
scheduling)
* Backup-Archive server-initiated prompted scheduling

SOLUTION:
Apply client update packages.
