Summary

Heap-based buffer overflow in adsmdll.dll 5.3.7.7296, as used by the daemon (dsmsvc.exe) in the backup server in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) Express 5.3.7.3 and earlier and TSM 5.2, 5.3 before 5.3.6.0, and 5.4.0.0 through 5.4.4.0, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted length value.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables
    This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
  • Overflow Buffers
    Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
  • Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow
    This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
  • Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow
    In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
  • MIME Conversion
    An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

descriptionBUGTRAQ ID: 34077 CVE(CAN) ID: CVE-2008-4563 Tivoli Storage Manager是一种遵循ANSI SAN标准的可扩展解决方案，用于发现、监控和管理企业SAN架构组件，并可分配和自动操纵企业的附加磁盘存储资源。 Tivoli存储管理器dsmsvc.exe守护程序的adsmdll.dll库存在堆溢出漏洞。有漏洞的函数分配了固定大小的堆缓冲区用于存储会话相关数据，然后将用户提供的值用作了拷贝操作的字节长度。由于缺少边界检查，未经认证的远程攻击者可以通过提交恶意请求触发堆溢出，导致拒绝服务或执行任意代码。 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Express 5.3.7.3 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.4 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.3 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 5.2 临时解决方法： * 在TSM服务器选项文件中启用VERBCHECK选项。 厂商补丁： IBM --- 目前厂商已经发布了升级补丁以修复这个安全问题，请到厂商的主页下载： <a href=http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24021375 target=_blank rel=external nofollow>http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24021375</a> <a href=http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24013448 target=_blank rel=external nofollow>http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24013448</a>
