                      January 14 2008: Initial Release

OVERVIEW:

       A vulnerability has been discovered in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 
       Express which can result in remote attackers executing arbitrary
       code with system privileges.

IMPACT:

       IBM describes the vulnerability as follows:

       "Specially crafted packets sent to a TSM Express server by an 
       application directly opening the server TCP socket, not by the TSM 
       client, could cause a buffer overflow. This buffer overflow could 
       enable a remote attacker to inject arbitrary code into the TSM 
       Express server that would run with the privileges of the SYSTEM 
       user. This could allow a remote attacker to take control of the TSM 
       Express server." [1]


MITIGATION:

       A fix has been released in TSM Express 5.3.7.3 which is available
       for download from the IBM website. [2]
