IBM Tivoli Storage Manager HSM for Windows displays the encrypted Tivoli Storage Manager password in application trace output if the password access option is prompt and the password is changed.

IBM Tivoli Storage Manager discloses unencrypted login credentials to Vmware vCenter that could be obtained by a local user.

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.

The server in IBM Spectrum Protect (aka Tivoli Storage Manager) 5.5 and 6.x before 6.3.5.1 and 7.x before 7.1.4 does not properly restrict use of the ASNODENAME option, which allows remote attackers to read or write to backup data by leveraging proxy authority.

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.
