Descriptions
Heap-based buffer overflow in the Data Protection for SQL CAD service (aka dsmcat.exe) in the Client Acceptor Daemon (CAD) and the scheduler in the Backup-Archive client 5.1.0.0 through 5.1.8.1, 5.2.0.0 through 5.2.5.2, 5.3.0.0 through 5.3.6.1, 5.4.0.0 through 5.4.2.2, and 5.5.0.0 through 5.5.0.91 in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM); and the Backup-Archive client in TSM Express; allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending a large amount of crafted data to a TCP port.
Desbordamiento de búfer basado en montículo en la Protección de Datos para el servicio SQL CAD (también conocido como dsmcat.exe) en Client Acceptor Daemon (CAD Demonio Aceptador de Clientes) y el programador en el cliente de archivos de respaldo de v5.1.0.0 a v5.1.8.1, de v5.2.0.0 a v5.2.5.2, de v5.3.0.0 a v5.3.6.1, de v5.4.0.0 a v5.4.2.2 y de v5.5.0.0 a v5.5.0.91 en Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM)de IBM; y el cliente de archivos de respaldo en TSM Express; permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección enviando una gran cantidad de datos manipulados a un puerto TCP.
This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Express for Microsoft SQL. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw resides in the Data Protection for SQL CAD service, dsmcat.exe, which listens by default on a TCP port above 1024. The process trusts a user-supplied size value, receiving the specified amount of data into a static heap buffer. By sending a specially crafted packet, an attacker can overflow that buffer leading to arbitrary code execution in the context of the SYSTEM user.
