Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in dsmagent.exe in the Remote Agent Service in the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) client 5.1.0.0 through 5.1.8.2, 5.2.0.0 through 5.2.5.3, 5.3.0.0 through 5.3.6.4, and 5.4.0.0 through 5.4.1.96, and the TSM Express client 5.3.3.0 through 5.3.6.4, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) a request packet that is not properly parsed by an unspecified "generic string handling function" or (2) a crafted NodeName in a dicuGetIdentifyRequest request packet, related to the (a) Web GUI and (b) Java GUI.

Buffer overflow in the Web GUI in the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) client 5.1.0.0 through 5.1.8.2, 5.2.0.0 through 5.2.5.3, 5.3.0.0 through 5.3.6.4, 5.4.0.0 through 5.4.2.6, and 5.5.0.0 through 5.5.1.17 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.

Unspecified vulnerability in the Java GUI in the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) client 5.2.0.0 through 5.2.5.3, 5.3.0.0 through 5.3.6.5, 5.4.0.0 through 5.4.2.6, and 5.5.0.0 through 5.5.1.17, and the TSM Express client 5.3.3.0 through 5.3.6.5, allows attackers to read or modify arbitrary files via unknown vectors.

The server in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) 5.1.x, 5.2.x before 5.2.1.2, and 6.x before 6.1 does not require credentials to observe the server console in some circumstances, which allows remote authenticated administrators to monitor server operations by establishing a console mode session, related to "session exposure."

The server in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) 4.2.x on MVS, 5.1.9.x before 5.1.9.1, 5.1.x before 5.1.10, 5.2.2.x before 5.2.2.3, 5.2.x before 5.2.3, 5.3.x before 5.3.0, and 6.x before 6.1, when the HTTP communication method is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash or hang) via unspecified HTTP traffic, as demonstrated by the IBM port scanner 1.3.1.

Heap-based buffer overflow in adsmdll.dll 5.3.7.7296, as used by the daemon (dsmsvc.exe) in the backup server in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) Express 5.3.7.3 and earlier and TSM 5.2, 5.3 before 5.3.6.0, and 5.4.0.0 through 5.4.4.0, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted length value.

Buffer overflow in the Client Acceptor Daemon (CAD), dsmcad.exe, in certain IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) clients 5.1 before 5.1.8.1, 5.2 before 5.2.5.2, 5.3 before 5.3.5.3, and 5.4 before 5.4.1.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted HTTP headers, aka IC52905.

Multiple buffer overflows in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) before 5.2.9 and 5.3.x before 5.3.4 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long string in (1) the language field at logon that begins with a 0x18 byte, (2) two unspecified parameters to the SmExecuteWdsfSession function, and (3) the contact field in an open registration message.
