APP: IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Initial Sign-on Request Buffer Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the service.
Extended Description
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager is prone to multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because the application fails to check the size of message fields before copying them into finite-sized internal memory buffers. An attacker can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code within the context of the Tivoli application. This may facilitate the compromise of affected servers. Authentication is not required to leverage these issues. Tivoli Storage Manager versions prior to and including 5.2.9 and 5.3.4 are confirmed affected by these issues.
Affected Products
- IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.2.9
- IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.3.4
