IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Express CAD Service Buffer Overflow
Vulnerability
------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

A vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on
vulnerable installations of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Express.
Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.

DETAILS

Vulnerable Systems:
* Tivoli Storage Manager Express backup clients
* Tivoli Storage Manager version 5.1 backup clients
* Tivoli Storage Manager version 5.2 backup clients
* Tivoli Storage Manager version 5.3 backup clients

The specific flaw exists in the dsmcad.exe process bound by default on TCP
port 1581. During HTTP header parsing, a host parameter of sufficient
length will trigger an overflow through a call to vswprintf(). The call
overflows into imported function pointers which are later called.
Exploitation of this issue can result in arbitrary code execution.
