  IBM Tivoli Management Framework Buffer Overflow (Endpoint)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

A remote buffer overflow condition exists in the web server (default port
9495) running on TMR Endpoints. This can result in a denial of service and
execution of arbitrary code.

DETAILS

Vulnerable systems:
 * IBM Tivoli version 3.6.x through 3.7.1

Immune systems:
 * IBM Tivoli version 3.7.1-TMF-0066

An overly long GET request results in a buffer overflow, with registers
being overwritten with user supplied data.

This results in the TMR Endpoint Service crashing (LCFD process) and
allows arbitrary code to be executed as a privileged user (SYSTEM on NT or
root on UNIX). The loss of the lcfd process terminates all endpoint
activities.

Fix:
Apply latest Fixpack (Currently Fixpack 2 or Patches 3.7.1-TMF-0066), or
apply workaround.

Vendor status:
Tivoli was notified 12 April 2002.

Vendor has released a security alert with details of patches and
workarounds. See
