CVE-2007-1868
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe management service in IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment before 5.1 Fix Pack 2 does not properly handle multipart/form-data in HTTP POST requests, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via crafted POST requests to port 8080/tcp or 443/tcp.
