IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3.0.7 through 6.3.0.7 Service Pack 20 is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking. A remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the server to crash.
Solution:
A heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc().
