CVE-2013-0508: Multiple buffer overflows in IBM Tivoli Netcool System Service Monitors (SSM) and Application Service Monit...

Multiple buffer overflows in IBM Tivoli Netcool System Service Monitors (SSM) and Application Service Monitors (ASM) 4.0.0 before FP14 and 4.0.1 before FP1 allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via a long line in (1) hrfstable.idx, (2) hrdevice.idx, (3) hrstorage.idx, or (4) lotusmapfile in the SSM Config directory, or (5) .manifest.hive in the main agent directory.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A legacy IBM Netcool monitoring component can mishandle overly long lines in specific local agent files. On affected versions, this may let a context-dependent attacker crash the agent or run code. Business urgency depends on whether these old agents are still deployed and who can modify their configuration or agent files. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running IBM Tivoli Netcool SSM or ASM 4.0.0 before FP14, or 4.0.1 before FP1. The provided sources do not identify other products or newer branches as affected. Treat this as a targeted legacy-system remediation item. It is serious because code execution is possible, but priority should be driven by actual Netcool SSM/ASM presence, fix-pack status, and local file access exposure. Mitigation focus: Inventory IBM Tivoli Netcool SSM and ASM deployments and versions.; Upgrade 4.0.0 deployments to FP14 or later.; Upgrade 4.0.1 deployments to FP1 or later..
