Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in dsmagent.exe in the Remote Agent Service 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, and 5.4.0.0 through 5.4.1.96, and the TSM Express client 5.3.3.0 through 5.3.6.4, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) a request packet that is not properly parsed by an unspecified "generic string handling function" or (2) a crafted NodeName in a dicuGetIdentifyRequest request packet, related to the (a) Web GUI and (b) Java GUI.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
