DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager
(TSM) Client, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain
escalated privileges and by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable
system.

1) A boundary error exists within the "GeneratePassword()" function
in dsmtca. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer
overflow and gain escalated privileges.

2) An unspecified error in the backup-archive clients can be
exploited to overwrite certain files.

3) An error within the Hierarchical Storage Management client can be
exploited to  execute arbitrary commands and e.g. read, copy, modify,
or delete arbitrary files.

Please see the vendor's advisory for details on affected versions.

SOLUTION:
Apply patches. Please see the vendor's advisory for details.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
1) Peter Wilhelmsen and Daniel Kalici, Kryptos Logic.
2, 3) Reported by the vendor.
