Synopsis

A backup application installed on the remote host is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.

Description

The version of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) for Virtual Environments installed on the remote host is 6.3.x prior to 6.3.2.5, 6.4.x prior to 6.4.3.1, or 7.1.x prior to 7.1.3.0. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability due to improper validation of input before returning it to users. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted link, to execute script code in the user's browser session.

Solution

Upgrade to Tivoli Storage Manager for Virtual Environments version 6.3.2.5 / 6.4.3.1 / 7.1.3.0 or later.
