We have a considerable number of Linux TSM clients running on 32 bit x86 
processors and currently using either 6.2.2.0 or 6.2.4.0 client code. These 
client code levels have the privilege escalation bug described in the IBM 
bulletin " Tivoli Storage Manager Stack-based Buffer Overflow Elevation of 
Privilege: CVE-2014-6184". This bug is fixed in 6.2.5.4 client code. The README 
file for the 6.2.5.4 patch level has a link for "Linux x86_64 client 
requirements" but no corresponding link for the 32 bit x86 architecture. Does 
this imply that IBM is not providing the bug fix for 32 bit x86 systems?
