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.

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.

The FlashCopy Manager for VMware component in IBM Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager 3.1 through 4.1.0.1 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 (data overwrite or disk consumption) via unspecified GUI actions.

The traditional scheduler in the client in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) before 6.2.5.0, 6.3 before 6.3.1.0, and 6.4 before 6.4.0.1, when Prompted mode is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (scheduling outage) via unspecified vectors.

The Web GUI in the client in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) 6.3 before 6.3.1.0 and 6.4 before 6.4.0.1 allows man-in-the-middle attackers to obtain unspecified client access, and consequently obtain unspecified server access, via unknown vectors.
