Synopsis

A backup application installed on the remote host is affected by a remote command execution vulnerability.

Description

The version of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) for Virtual Environments installed on the remote host is 6.4.x prior to 6.4.3.4 or 7.1.x prior to 7.1.6.0. It is, therefore, affected by an unspecified flaw in the GUI that allows an authenticated, remote attacker in limited cases to exercise certain commands that require administrative credentials without having these credentials.

Solution

Upgrade to Tivoli Storage Manager for Virtual Environments version 6.4.3.4 / 7.1.6.0 or later.
