CVE-2006-6309

Status: ModifiedHigh (7.5)—

Multiple array index errors in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) before 5.2.9 and 5.3.x before 5.3.4 allow remote attackers to read arbitrary memory locations and cause a denial of service (crash) via a large index value in unspecified messages, a different issue than CVE-2006-5855.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
