IBM Spectrum Protect, formerly known as Tivoli Storage Manager, installed on the remote host is version 7.1.1.0 through 7.1.7.0. It is, therefore, affected by a buffer overflow condition when handling the SELECT command in a SQL query due to improper validation of input.
An authenticated, remote attacker with TSM administrator privileges can exploit this issue, via a specially crafted SQL query, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
