IBM Tivoli Monitoring V6 6.2.2.x could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a use-after-free error. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash. IBM X-Force ID: 133243.

Weakness

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory “belongs” to the code that operates on the new pointer.
