What is CVE-2020-28198?

The 'id' parameter of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager's Command Line Administrative Interface (dsmadmc.exe) is susceptible to an exploitable stack buffer overflow. This can occur specifically during its interactive mode. Notably, due to a character limitation, exploitation is not possible in batch or command-line usage. It is important to note that this vulnerability affects versions of the product that are no longer supported by IBM.
