UNKNOWN Summary
Stack-based buffer overflow in the client acceptor daemon (CAD) scheduler in the client in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) 5.3 before 5.3.6.7, 5.4 before 5.4.3, 5.5 before 5.5.2.2, and 6.1 before 6.1.0.2, and TSM Express 5.3.3.0 through 5.3.6.6, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted data in a TCP packet.
Vulnerable Configurations
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.

description This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Express CAD Service. By sending a "ping" packet containing a long string, an attacker can execute arbitrary code. NOTE: the dsmcad.exe service must be in a particular state (CadWaitingStatus = 1) in order for the vulnerable code to be reached. This state doesn't appear to be reachable when the TSM server is not running. This service does not restart. id MSF:EXPLOIT/WINDOWS/BROWSER/MS06_055_VML_METHOD last seen 2020-06-13 modified 2017-07-24 published 2009-12-20 references https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-3853 reporter Rapid7 source https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/blob/master//modules/exploits/windows/misc/ibm_tsm_cad_ping.rb title IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Express CAD Service Buffer Overflow description This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Express CAD Service.

description | The remote host is running an IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) client. The version running on the remote host has one or more of the following vulnerabilities : - A remote stack-based buffer overflow in the client acceptor daemon (CAD) scheduler could lead to the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2009-3853) - A remote, stack-based buffer overflow in the traditional scheduler could lead to the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2009-3854) - There is an unspecified, unauthorized access vulnerability in the Unix, Linux, and OS/400 API clients when specifying the MAILPROG option. This vulnerability reportedly allows a remote attacker to modify arbitrary files on the remote host. (CVE-2009-2855) |
