CVE-2019-4267
The IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 8.1 Backup-Archive Client is vulnerable to a buffer overflow. This could allow execution of arbitrary code on the local system or the application to crash. IBM X-Force ID: 160200.
CVE-2019-4140
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Server (IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 8.1) could allow a local user to replace existing databases by restoring old data. IBM X-Force ID: 158336.
CVE-2019-4129
IBM Spectrum Protect Operations Center 7.1 and 8.1 could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by an error message containing a stack trace. By creating an error with a stack trace, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to potentially obtain details on the Operations Center architecture. IBM X-Force ID: 158279.
CVE-2019-4088
IBM Spectrum Protect Servers 7.1 and 8.1 and Storage Agents could allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by loading a specially crafted library loaded by the dsmqsan module. By setting up such a library, a local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain root privileges on the vulnerable system. IBM X-Force ID: 157511.
CVE-2019-4087
IBM Spectrum Protect Servers 7.1 and 8.1 and Storage Agents are vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by servers and storage agents in response to specifically crafted communication exchanges. By sending an overly long request, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system with instance id privileges or cause the server or storage agent to crash. IBM X-Force ID: 157510.
CVE-2018-1882
In a certain atypical IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 8.1 configurations, the node password could be displayed in plain text in the IBM Spectrum Protect client trace file. IBM X-Force ID: 151968.
CVE-2018-1853
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 8.1) could allow a remote attacker to hijack the clicking action of the victim. By persuading a victim to visit a malicious Web site, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to hijack the victim's click actions and possibly launch further attacks against the victim. IBM X-Force ID: 151014.
CVE-2018-1787
IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 8.1 is affected by a password exposure vulnerability caused by insecure file permissions. IBM X-Force ID: 148872.
CVE-2018-1786
IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 8.1 dsmc and dsmcad processes incorrectly accumulate TCP/IP sockets in a CLOSE_WAIT state. This can cause TCP/IP resource leakage and may result in a denial of service. IBM X-Force ID: 148871.
CVE-2018-1788
IBM Spectrum Protect Server 7.1 and 8.1 could disclose highly sensitive information via trace logs to a local privileged user. IBM X-Force ID: 148873.
CVE-2018-1545
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 8.1) uses weaker than expected cryptographic algorithms that could allow an attacker to decrypt highly sensitive information. IBM X-Force ID: 142649.
CVE-2018-1785
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 8.1) uses weaker than expected cryptographic algorithms that could allow an attacker to decrypt sensitive information. IBM X-Force ID: 148870.
CVE-2018-1550
IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 8.1 could allow a local user to corrupt or delete highly sensitive information that would cause a denial of service to other users. IBM X-Force ID: 142696.
CVE-2018-1447
The GSKit (IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 7.2) and (IBM Spectrum Protect Snapshot 4.1.3, 4.1.4, and 4.1.6) CMS KDB logic fails to salt the hash function resulting in weaker than expected protection of passwords. A weak password may be recovered. Note: After update the customer should change password to ensure the new password is stored more securely. Products should encourage customers to take this step as a high priority action. IBM X-Force ID: 139972.
CVE-2017-1301
IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 8.1 could allow a local attacker to launch a symlink attack. IBM Spectrum Protect Backup-archive Client creates temporary files insecurely. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability by creating a symbolic link from a temporary file to various files on the system, which could allow the attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the system with elevated privileges. IBM X-Force ID: 125163.
CVE-2017-1339
IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 8.1 (formerly Tivoli Storage Manager) Server uses weak encryption for the password. A database administrator may be able to decrypt the IBM Spectrum protect client or administrator password which can result in information disclosure or a denial of service. IBM X-Force ID: 126247.
CVE-2016-8937
The IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 8.1) default authentication protocol is vulnerable to a brute force attack due to disclosing too much information during authentication. An attacker could gain user or administrative access to the TSM server. IBM X-Force ID: 118750.
CVE-2016-8939
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (IBM Spectrum Protect 7.1 and 8.1) clients/agents store password information in the Windows Registry in a manner which can be compromised. IBM X-Force ID: 118790.
