Subject:    New TSM (Server) Flash #10254



TSM Community,

Flash 10254 Text:





  Abstract: Users can view the server console without authentication with
  the server.







 Problem: Users can view the server console without authentication with the
 server.

 Who is Affected: Tivoli Storage Manager servers prior to version 5.1.8.0
 and 5.2.1.2 on all platforms.

 Recommendation: Update the server to the patch or PTF level which includes
 APAR IC37554 for your server version when it is available. This APAR is
 included in 5.1.8.0 and 5.2.1.2 (all supported server platforms), 4.2.4.2
 for MVS, and 3.1.2.111 for VM. VM customers will need to call IBM for the
 password to the FTP site as the password in the previous README is no
 longer correct.

 Conclusion: Under limited circumstance, the server may allow a user to
 view the server console without requesting user's credentials. Please
 follow the above recommendations to protect your server.
