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

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.

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.

Race condition in the client in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) 5.4.0.0 through 5.4.3.6, 5.5.0.0 through 5.5.4.3, 6.1.0.0 through 6.1.5.6, 6.2 before 6.2.5.4, 6.3 before 6.3.2.3, 6.4 before 6.4.2.1, and 7.1 before 7.1.1 on UNIX and Linux allows local users to obtain root privileges via unspecified vectors.

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 dsmtca in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) through 5.5.4.0, 6.1.0 through 6.1.5.4, 6.2.0 through 6.2.4.7, and 6.3.0 through 6.3.0.17 on UNIX and Linux allows local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors.

The Web GUI in the client in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) 6.3 before 6.3.1.0 and 6.4 before 6.4.0.1 allows man-in-the-middle attackers to obtain unspecified client access, and consequently obtain unspecified server access, via unknown vectors.

The traditional scheduler in the client in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) before 6.2.5.0, 6.3 before 6.3.1.0, and 6.4 before 6.4.0.1, when Prompted mode is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (scheduling outage) via unspecified vectors.
