The Reporting and Monitoring component in Tivoli Monitoring in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager 6.3 before 6.3.6 and 7.1 before 7.1.3 on Linux and AIX uses world-writable permissions for unspecified files, which allows local users to gain privileges by writing to a file.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a local privilege escalation issue in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Reporting and Monitoring. On affected Linux and AIX deployments, overly permissive file permissions could let a local user alter an unspecified file and gain higher privileges. Exposure appears limited to older IBM Tivoli Storage Manager deployments using Reporting and Monitoring on Linux or AIX. Systems without local untrusted users, or not running the affected component and versions, are less exposed. Treat as a targeted cleanup item for legacy backup infrastructure. It is not described as remotely exploitable, but backup servers are high-value systems and local privilege escalation can worsen insider or foothold scenarios. Mitigation focus: Identify affected IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Linux and AIX installations.; Upgrade 6.3 deployments to 6.3.6 or later where applicable.; Upgrade 7.1 deployments to 7.1.3 or later where applicable..
