IMPACT
The vendor has provided the following information regarding these
vulnerabilities [1]:
CAD Scheduler Buffer Overrun:

code could, for example, allow an unauthorized user to read, copy,
alter, or delete files on the client machine.

A buffer overrun vulnerability exists in the traditional client
scheduler, which has the potential to crash the TSM client or to
allow malicious code injection. The malicious code could, for
example, allow an unauthorized user to read, copy, alter, or delete
files on the client machine.
Unauthorized Access with MAILPROG option:
An unauthorized access vulnerability exists in the UNIX and Linux
backup-archive clients and the OS/400 API client when the MAILPROG
option is specified. The vulnerability could, for example, allow an
unauthorized user to read, copy, alter, or delete files on the client
machine.
