Synopsis
The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
According to its version, the installation of IBM DB2 running on the remote host is affected by one or more of the following issues :- A local user may be able to overwrite arbitrary files, create arbitrary world-writeable directories, or gain root privileges via symlink attacks or specially crafted environment variables. (IY98210 / IY99261)
- A user may be able to continue to execute a method even once privileges for the method have been revoked.
(IY88226, version 8 only)
- There is an unspecified issue allowing for privilege elevation when DB2 'execs' executables while running as root. (IY98206 / IY98176)
- There is an unspecified vulnerability related to incorrect authorization routines. (JR25940, version 8 only)
- There is an unspecified vulnerability in 'AUTH_LIST_GROUPS_FOR_AUTHID'. (IZ01828, version 9.1 only)
- There is an unspecified vulnerability in the 'db2licm' and 'db2pd' tools. (IY97922 / IY97936)
- There is an unspecified vulnerability involving 'db2licd' and the 'OSSEMEMDBG' and 'TRC_LOG_FILE' environment variables. (IY98011 / IY98101)
- There is a buffer overflow involving the 'DASPROF' environment variable. (IY97346 / IY99311)
- There is an unspecified vulnerability that can arise during instance and FMP startup. (IZ01923 / IZ02067)
- The DB2JDS service may allow for arbitrary code execution without the need for authentication due to a stack overflow in an internal sprintf() call.
(IY97750, version 8 only)
- The DB2JDS service is affected by two denial of service issues that can be triggered by packets with an invalid LANG parameter or a long packet, which cause the process to terminate (version 8 only).
Note that there is currently insufficient information to determine to what extent the first set of issues overlaps the others.
