Vigil@nce - IBM TSM Client: privilege escalation via SetUID
August 2014 by Vigil@nce
This bulletin was written by Vigil@nce : http://vigilance.fr/offer
SYNTHESIS OF THE VULNERABILITY
A local attacker can create a malicious library, which is loaded
by a suid program of IBM TSM Client, in order to escalate his
privileges.
Impacted products: Tivoli Storage Manager
Severity: 2/4
Creation date: 14/08/2014
DESCRIPTION OF THE VULNERABILITY
The IBM TSM Client product installs several suid root programs.
However, they are compiled with a relative RPATH, so they accept
to load libraries located from the current directory.
A local attacker can therefore create a malicious library, which
is loaded by a suid program of IBM TSM Client, in order to
escalate his privileges.
