IBM · Guardium Data Protection
IBM Guardium Data Protection versions 12.0 and 12.1 contain a heap-based buffer overflow in the S-TAP TrafficTap TDS login reassembly functionality. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit it by sending crafted TDS login fragments that exceed the fixed-size reassembly buffer, which could lead to denial of service or arbitrary code execution, with no user interaction or prior authentication required.
