Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2014-4813 is a local privilege escalation issue in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager client on UNIX and Linux. A user who already has local access to an affected system may be able to gain root privileges. This matters most on shared servers, backup hosts, and systems where untrusted users can log in. Exposure is likely limited to legacy UNIX/Linux systems running affected IBM Tivoli Storage Manager client versions, especially backup-managed servers with local shell users or multi-user access. Prioritize remediation where affected TSM clients run on shared or high-value UNIX/Linux servers. This is not described as remotely exploitable, but root compromise of backup-managed systems can materially increase business impact. Mitigation focus: Inventory UNIX/Linux hosts running IBM Tivoli Storage Manager client.; Compare installed versions against the affected ranges in IBM and CVE records.; Upgrade 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, and 7.1 clients to fixed or later listed releases..
