-- CVE ID:
CVE-2007-2137

-- Affected Vendor:
IBM

-- Affected Products:
IBM Tivoli Monitoring Express 6.1

-- Vulnerability Details:
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on
vulnerable installations of IBM Tivoli Monitoring Express.

during a call to a vulnerable function in kde.dll resulting in the
ability to execute arbitrary code.
