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.
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.
