IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly perform size checks on user-supplied input.

A remote attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges or to crash the server process, which could lead to denial-of-service conditions.

Versions prior to IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment 5.1.0.3 are vulnerable.

NOTE: This BID was previously titled 'IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment Denial of Service Vulnerability' but has been updated to reflect new information.
