The IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (IBM Spectrum Protect) AIX client is vulnerable to a buffer overflow when Journal-Based Backup is enabled. A local attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause a system crash.

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Operations Center is vulnerable to cross-site request forgery which could allow an attacker to execute malicious and unauthorized actions transmitted from a user that the website trusts.

IBM Tivoli Storage Manger for Virtual Environments: Data Protection for VMware (aka Spectrum Protect for Virtual Environments) 6.4.x before 6.4.3.4 and 7.1.x before 7.1.6 allows remote authenticated users to bypass a TSM credential requirement and obtain administrative access by leveraging multiple simultaneous logins.

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management (aka Spectrum Protect for Space Management) 6.3.x before 6.3.2.6, 6.4.x before 6.4.3.3, and 7.1.x before 7.1.6, when certain dsmsetpw tracing is configured, allows local users to discover an encrypted password by reading application-trace output.

IBM Spectrum Protect (formerly Tivoli Storage Manager) 5.5 through 6.3 before 6.3.2.6, 6.4 before 6.4.3.3, and 7.1 before 7.1.6 allows local users to obtain sensitive retrieved data from arbitrary accounts in opportunistic circumstances by leveraging previous use of a symlink during archive and retrieve actions.

The Data Protection component in the VMware vSphere GUI in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Virtual Environments: Data Protection for VMware (aka Spectrum Protect for Virtual Environments) 6.3 before 6.3.2.5, 6.4 before 6.4.3.1, and 7.1 before 7.1.4 and Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for VMware (aka Spectrum Protect Snapshot) 3.1 before 3.1.1.3, 3.2 before 3.2.0.6, and 4.1 before 4.1.4 allows remote attackers to obtain administrative privileges via a crafted URL that triggers back-end function execution.

Client Acceptor Daemon (CAD) in the client in IBM Spectrum Protect (formerly Tivoli Storage Manager) 5.5 and 6.x before 6.3.2.5, 6.4 before 6.4.3.1, and 7.1 before 7.1.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a crafted Web client URL.

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Databases: Data Protection for Microsoft SQL Server (aka Spectrum Protect for Databases) 5.5 before 5.5.6.2, 6.3 before 6.3.1.6, 6.4 before 6.4.1.8, and 7.1 before 7.1.4; Tivoli Storage Manager for Mail: Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange Server (aka Spectrum Protect for Mail) 5.5 before 5.5.1.1, 6.1 and 6.3 before 6.3.1.6, 6.4 before 6.4.1.8, and 7.1 before 7.1.4; and Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for Windows (aka Spectrum Protect Snapshot) 2.x and 3.1 before 3.1.1.6, 3.2 before 3.2.1.8, and 4.1 before 4.1.4, when application tracing is configured, write cleartext passwords during changetsmpassword command execution, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading the application trace output.

The mailbox-restore feature in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Mail: Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange Server 6.1 before 6.1.3.6, 6.3 before 6.3.1.3, 6.4 before 6.4.1.4, and 7.1 before 7.1.0.2; Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager: FlashCopy Manager for Microsoft Exchange Server 2.1, 2.2, 3.1 before 3.1.1.5, 3.2 before 3.2.1.7, and 4.1 before 4.1.1; and Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack for Microsoft Exchange 6.1 before 6.1.5.4 does not ensure that the correct mailbox is selected, which allows remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information via a duplicate alias name.

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Databases: Data Protection for Microsoft SQL Server 5.5 before 5.5.6.1, 6.3 before 6.3.1.5, 6.4 before 6.4.1.7, and 7.1 before 7.1.2; Tivoli Storage Manager for Mail: Data Protection for Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 before 5.5.1.1, 6.1 before 6.1.3.7, 6.3 before 6.3.1.5, 6.4 before 6.4.1.7, and 7.1 before 7.1.2; and Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager 3.1 before 3.1.1.5, 3.2 before 3.2.1.7, and 4.1 before 4.1.2, when application tracing is used, place cleartext passwords in exception messages, which allows physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading trace output, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-4949.
