Error description
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager is affected by multiple problems related to SSL/TLS communications, which, under very specific conditions, can cause Tivoli Storage Manager servers and/or storage agents and the systems on which they are running to become unresponsive, hang or crash. By default, Tivoli Storage Manager does not use TLS/SSL communications and therefore, the exposure only exists if you are using TLS/SSL. See the following security bulletins for details: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21674824 http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21674825
