IBM Tivoli Storage Manager discloses unencrypted login credentials to Vmware vCenter that could be obtained by a local user.

The Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) password may be displayed in plain text via application trace output while application tracing is enabled.

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 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.

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 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.
