UNSUPPORTED WHEN ASSIGNED The 'id' parameter of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Version 5 Release 2 (Command Line Administrative Interface, dsmadmc.exe) is vulnerable to an exploitable stack buffer overflow. Note: the vulnerability can be exploited when it is used in "interactive" mode while, cause of a max number characters limitation, it cannot be exploited in batch or command line usage (e.g. dsmadmc.exe -id=username -password=pwd). NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.
IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 8.1 dsmc and dsmcad processes incorrectly accumulate TCP/IP sockets in a CLOSEWAIT state. This can cause TCP/IP resource leakage and may result in a denial of service. IBM X-Force ID: 148871.
IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 8.1 could allow a local user to corrupt or delete highly sensitive information that would cause a denial of service to other users. IBM X-Force ID: 142696.
IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 8.1 (formerly Tivoli Storage Manager) Server uses weak encryption for the password. A database administrator may be able to decrypt the IBM Spectrum protect client or administrator password which can result in information disclosure or a denial of service. IBM X-Force ID: 126247.
IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 8.1 could allow a local attacker to launch a symlink attack. IBM Spectrum Protect Backup-archive Client creates temporary files insecurely. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability by creating a symbolic link from a temporary file to various files on the system, which could allow the attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the system with elevated privileges. IBM X-Force ID: 125163.
The IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 8.1) default authentication protocol is vulnerable to a brute force attack due to disclosing too much information during authentication. An attacker could gain user or administrative access to the TSM server. IBM X-Force ID: 118750.
IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 8.1 (formerly Tivoli Storage Manager) disclosed unencrypted login credentials to Vmware vCenter in the application trace output which could be obtained by a local user. IBM X-Force ID: 126875.
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 8.1) clients/agents store password information in the Windows Registry in a manner which can be compromised. IBM X-Force ID: 118790.
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.5, 6.1-6.4, and 7.1 stores password information in a log file that could be read by a local user when a set password command is issued. IBM X-Force ID: 118472.
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (IBM Spectrum Protect) 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, and 7.1 does not perform sufficient authority checking on SQL queries. As a result, an attacker is able to submit SQL queries that access database tables that are not intended for access or use by administrators. The access of these product specific database tables may allow access to passwords or other sensitive information for the product. IBM Reference #: 1998946.
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Server 7.1 could allow an authenticated user with TSM administrator privileges to cause a buffer overflow using a specially crafted SQL query and execute arbitrary code on the server. IBM Reference #: 1998747.

The Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) password may be displayed in plain text via application trace output while application tracing is enabled.
Tivoli Storage Manager Operations Center could allow a local user to take over a previously logged in user due to session expiration not being enforced.
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Operations Center could allow an authenticated attacker to enable or disable the application's REST API, which may let the attacker violate security policy.
The IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (IBM Spectrum Protect) AIX client is vulnerable to a buffer overflow when Journal-Based Backup is enabled. A local attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause a system crash.
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Operations Center is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. This vulnerability allows users to embed arbitrary JavaScript code in the Web UI thus altering the intended functionality potentially leading to credentials disclosure within a trusted session.
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Operations Center is vulnerable to cross-site request forgery which could allow an attacker to execute malicious and unauthorized actions transmitted from a user that the website trusts.
IBM Spectrum Protect (formerly Tivoli Storage Manager) 5.5 through 6.3 before 6.3.2.6, 6.4 before 6.4.3.3, and 7.1 before 7.1.6 allows local users to obtain sensitive retrieved data from arbitrary accounts in opportunistic circumstances by leveraging previous use of a symlink during archive and retrieve actions.
The server in IBM Spectrum Protect (aka Tivoli Storage Manager) 5.5 and 6.x before 6.3.5.1 and 7.x before 7.1.4 does not properly restrict use of the ASNODENAME option, which allows remote attackers to read or write to backup data by leveraging proxy authority.
Client Acceptor Daemon (CAD) in the client in IBM Spectrum Protect (formerly Tivoli Storage Manager) 5.5 and 6.x before 6.3.2.5, 6.4 before 6.4.3.1, and 7.1 before 7.1.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a crafted Web client URL.
The Reporting and Monitoring component in Tivoli Monitoring in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 6.3 before 6.3.6 and 7.1 before 7.1.3 on Linux and AIX uses world-writable permissions for unspecified files, which allows local users to gain privileges by writing to a file.
dsmtca in the client in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) 5.4.x, 5.5.x, 6.x before 6.4.3, and 7.1.x before 7.1.2 allows local users to discover the backup/restore encryption-key password via unspecified vectors.
Stack-based buffer overflow in dsmtca in the client in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) 5.4 through 5.4.3.6, 5.5 through 5.5.4.3, 6.1 through 6.1.5.6, 6.2 before 6.2.5.4, and 6.3 before 6.3.2.3 on UNIX, Linux, and OS X allows local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors.
The (1) Java GUI and (2) Web GUI components in the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) Backup-Archive client 5.4 and 5.5 before 5.5.4.4 on AIX, Linux, and Solaris; 5.4.x and 5.5.x on Windows and z/OS; 6.1 before 6.1.5.7 on z/OS; 6.1 and 6.2 before 6.2.5.2 on Windows, before 6.2.5.3 on AIX and Linux x86, and before 6.2.5.4 on Linux Z and Solaris; 6.3 before 6.3.2.1 on AIX, before 6.3.2.2 on Windows, and before 6.3.2.3 on Linux; 6.4 before 6.4.2.1; and 7.1 before 7.1.1 in IBM TSM for Mail, when the Data Protection for Lotus Domino component is used, allow local users to bypass authentication and restore a Domino database or transaction-log backup via unspecified vectors.
dsmtca in the client in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) 6.3 before 6.3.2.3, 6.4 before 6.4.2.2, and 7.1 before 7.1.1.3 does not properly restrict shared-library loading, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted DSO file.

The server in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) 5.x and 6.x before 6.3.5.10 and 7.x before 7.1.1.100 allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and replace file backups by using a certain backup option in conjunction with a filename that matches a previously used filename.
The Backup-Archive client in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) for Space Management 5.x and 6.x before 6.2.5.3, 6.3.x before 6.3.2, 6.4.x before 6.4.2, and 7.1.x before 7.1.0.3 on Linux and AIX, and 5.x and 6.x before 6.1.5.6 on Solaris and HP-UX, does not preserve file permissions across backup and restore operations, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via standard filesystem operations.
Buffer overflow in the Java GUI Configuration Wizard and Preferences Editor in the backup-archive client in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) 5.x and 6.x before 6.2.5.2, 6.3.x before 6.3.2, and 6.4.x before 6.4.2 on Windows and OS X allows local users to cause a denial of service (application crash or hang) via unspecified vectors.
