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.

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.

dsmtca in the client in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) 5.4.x, 5.5.x, 6.x before 6.4.3, and 7.1.x before 7.1.2 allows local users to discover the backup/restore encryption-key password via unspecified vectors.

dsmtca in the client in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) 6.3 before 6.3.2.3, 6.4 before 6.4.2.2, and 7.1 before 7.1.1.3 does not properly restrict shared-library loading, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted DSO file.

The server in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) 5.x and 6.x before 6.3.5.10 and 7.x before 7.1.1.100 allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and replace file backups by using a certain backup option in conjunction with a filename that matches a previously used filename.

The Data Protection for VMware component in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Virtual Environments (TSMVE) 6.3 through 7.1.0.2 does not properly check authorization for backup and restore operations, which allows local users to obtain sensitive VM data or cause a denial of service (disk consumption) via unspecified GUI actions.
