IBM Storage Protect Client uses weaker than expected cryptographic algorithms that could allow an attacker to decrypt highly sensitive information.
IBM Storage Protect for Virtual Environments: Data Protection for VMware 8.1.0.0 through 8.1.22.0 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by improper validation of user permission. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to change its settings, trigger backups, restore backups, and also delete all previous backups via log rotation. IBM X-Force ID: 294994.
IBM Spectrum Protect Client and IBM Storage Protect for Virtual Environments 8.1.0.0 through 8.1.19.0 could allow a local user to execute arbitrary code on the system using a specially crafted file, caused by a DLL hijacking flaw. IBM X-Force ID: 259246.
IBM Spectrum Protect 8.1.0.0 through 8.1.17.0 could allow a local user to cause a denial of service due to due to improper time-of-check to time-of-use functionality. IBM X-Force ID: 256012.
IBM Spectrum Protect Backup-Archive Client and IBM Spectrum Protect for Virtual Environments 7.1 and 8.1 creates directories/files in the CIT sub directory that are read/writable by everyone. IBM X-Force ID: 155551.
