CVE-2010-3058
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 Mount service in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) FastBack 5.x.x before 5.5.7, and 6.1.0.0, establishes an open UDP port, which might allow remote attackers to overwrite memory locations and execute arbitrary code, or cause a denial of service (application hang), via unspecified vectors.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe Mount service in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack 5.x.x before 5.5.7 and 6.1.0.0 establishes an open UDP port without proper input validation, allowing remote attackers to potentially overwrite memory locations and execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm IBM TSM FastBack is installedLocate IBM Tivoli Storage Manager FastBack software on the system. Check Add/Remove Programs, Program Files directory for IBM/TSMFastBack folder, or run system software inventory. The executable is typically named FBService.exe or similar in the installation directory.Affected if IBM TSM FastBack software is present on the system
-
Identify the installed FastBack versionCheck the version of the installed FastBack software. In Windows, right-click the installed program in Add/Remove Programs and select Properties, or check version info in the executable file properties. Compare your version against the affected list: 5.5.0, 5.5.1, 5.5.2, 5.5.2.0, 5.5.3.0, 5.5.4.0, 5.5.5.0, 5.5.6.0, or 6.1.0.0Affected if The installed version is any of 5.5.0 through 6.1.0.0 (including the specific versions listed)
-
Verify the Mount service is runningCheck if the FastBack Mount service is active. Open Services (services.msc) and look for a service named 'TSM FastBack Mount' or similar, or run 'sc query' from command line to list running services containing 'FastBack'Affected if The Mount service is currently running on the system
-
Check for open UDP listenersRun 'netstat -an | findstr UDP' from command line or use a network port scanner to enumerate UDP ports in LISTENING or ESTABLISHED state. Correlate any open UDP ports with the FastBack process to identify which are associated with the Mount service.Affected if An open UDP port is bound to the FastBack Mount service process
The environment is affected if IBM TSM FastBack version 5.5.0 through 6.1.0.0 is installed, the Mount service is running, and an open UDP port is bound to that service.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade to IBM TSM FastBack version 5.5.7 or later. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, restrict network access to the Mount service UDP port using firewall rules or network segmentation.
