IBM has identified a vulnerability that would allow unauthorized access to change, modify and/or delete directory data stored in IBM Tivoli Directory Server. While it is not believed that this vulnerability exists when the IBM Tivoli Directory Server is set to use SSL only and SSL Client Server authentication, IBM strongly recommends that all customers update their installation with the correct fix.
