Revision History:     May 8 2009: CVE update
                      May  7 2009: Initial Release

OVERVIEW:

      A number of vulnerabilities have been reported in IBM Tivoli Storage
      Manager (TSM) client. The Web GUI, Java GUI and SSL are affected in 
      certain client releases.


IMPACT:

      Two buffer overrun vulnerabilities in the Web GUI and the Java GUI can
      lead to a Denial of Service for the TSM client agent or malicious code 
      injection in the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) client 5.1.0.0 
      through 5.1.8.2, 5.2.0.0 through 5.2.5.3, 5.3.0.0 through 5.3.6.4, 
      5.4.0.0 through 5.4.2.6, and 5.5.0.0 through 5.5.1.17. [1]

      An unauthorised access vulnerability in the client Java GUI could
      allow an attacker to read, copy, modify or delete files on the client
      5.2.0.0 through 5.2.5.3, 5.3.0.0 through 5.3.6.5, 5.4.0.0 through 
      5.4.2.6, and 5.5.0.0 through 5.5.1.17, and the TSM Express client 
      5.3.3.0 through 5.3.6.5. [1]

      The TSM client 5.5.0.0 through 5.5.1.17 on AIX and Windows is 
      vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks when SSL is used. [1]


MITIGATION:

      Links to the updated packages are available on the vendor's website.
