The TCP-to-ODBC gateway in IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment 7.1.1.3 does not require authentication for SQL statements, which allows remote attackers to modify, create, or read database records via a session on TCP port 2020. NOTE: the vendor disputes this issue, stating that the "default Microsoft Access database is not password protected because it is intended to be used for evaluation purposes only.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2010-4121 concerns an IBM Tivoli OS Deployment component that allegedly accepted unauthenticated database operations over TCP port 2020. If present and reachable, an attacker could read or alter deployment database records. IBM disputed the issue, saying the unprotected default Microsoft Access database was for evaluation use only. Exposure is likely limited to legacy IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment 7.1.1.3 installations, especially evaluation-style Microsoft Access database configurations or networks exposing TCP port 2020. Prioritize discovery first. If this legacy IBM component is absent, no action is needed. If present and TCP 2020 is reachable, treat it as a data integrity and operational risk until vendor guidance and database authentication are confirmed. Mitigation focus: Identify any IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment 7.1.1.3 installations.; Check IBM guidance for database password configuration and supported production database setup.; Restrict TCP port 2020 to trusted administrative networks only..
