## Abstract

Java API Documentation shipped in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3 Windows client packages contains a frame injection vulnerability

## Content

**VULNERABILITY DETAILS:**

The TSM 6.1 Windows client packages and some TSM 6.2 and 6.3 Windows client packages contain documentation associated with the IBM Java Runtime Environment (JRE) plugin. This Java API documentation (which is different than the TSM API documentation) contains a frame injection vulnerability that is not exploitable when it is located in the TSM client directory. However, if a user moves or copies the documentation to a web server where the documentation is externally hosted, that server becomes vulnerable to CVE-2013-1571.

For more information on CVE-2013-1571, go to this link: [_CVE-2013-1571 _]()
CVSS Base Score: 4.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)

**TSM RELEASES CONTAINING THE DOCUMENTATION: **
The IBM Java JRE documentation is contained in the following TSM client releases:
· All TSM 6.1 Windows client packages
· All TSM 6.2.0.x through 6.2.4.x Windows client packages, where x>=0
· All TSM 6.3.0.x client packages, where x >= 0

Note: The TSM 6.2.5, 6.3.1, and 6.4.0 Windows client packages do not contain the IBM Java API documentation.

The documentation can be found in the following directories in the TSM client:
· Program FilesTivoliTSMbaclient<jvm>docs directories, or
· Program Files 64TivoliTSMbaclient<jvm>docs directories
where <jvm> is the name of the jvm directory, such as ‘jvm’ or ‘jvm6092’, depending on the package.

**REMEDIATION: **
Users hosting publicly facing Java API Documentation are strongly encouraged to use Oracle’s Java API Documentation Updater Tool, a repair-in-place tool meant to correct existing documentation.

The Tool is available to all Java users on [_www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/_]()
