TITLE:
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA23177

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/23177/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
DoS, System access

WHERE:
>From local network

SOFTWARE:
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.x
http://secunia.com/product/12799/

DESCRIPTION:
TippingPoint Security Research Team has reported some vulnerabilities
in Tivoli Storage Manager, which can be exploited by malicious people
to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially compromise a
vulnerable system.

1) A boundary error exists during the processing of the language
field in the initial sign-on request when the first byte of the
string is set to "0x18". This can be exploited to cause a buffer
overflow via a specially crafted message with an overly long language
field.

2) Boundary errors in the "SmExecuteWdsfSession()" function when
handling certain message fields can be exploited to cause a buffer
overflow via a specially crafted message.

3) A boundary error within the open registration message can be
exploited to cause a buffer overflow.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may allow execution of
arbitrary code.

The vulnerabilities are reported in the following versions:
* Tivoli Storage Manager <5.2.9
* Tivoli Storage Manager <5.3.4

SOLUTION:
Apply vendor patch.
