The version of IBM Spectrum Protect Client installed on the remote host is 5.5.x or 6.x prior to 6.4.3.5 or else 7.1.x prior to 7.1.6.5.
It is, therefore, affected by an information disclosure vulnerability when using the ‘set password’ client command due to the full text of the command and the included password being written to the instrumentation log file. This issue occurs when instrumentation tracing is enabled. A local attacker can exploit this vulnerability to disclose credentials.
Note that for version 7.1.6.0 and higher, instrumentation tracing is enabled by default, but it can be disabled by using the ‘ENABLEINSTRUMENTATION NO’ setting. Prior to 7.1.6.0, instrumentation tracing was enabled by using the ‘INSTRUMENT:*’ testflag.
IBM Spectrum Protect was formerly known as IBM Tivoli Storage Manager in releases prior to version 7.1.3.
