IBM DB2 Universal Database version 6.1 creates an account with a default user name and password, which allows remote attackers to gain access to the database.

The 'db2admin' account on the remote Windows host uses a known password. This account may have been created during installation of DB2 for use when managing the application, and it likely belongs to the Local Administrators group.

Note that while the DB2 installation no longer uses a default password for this account, the upgrade process does not force a password change if the 'db2admin' account exists from a previous installation.

The account 'db2as' has the password 'db2as'. An attacker may use it to gain further privileges on the system.

The account 'db2as' has the password 'ibmdb2'. An attacker may use it to gain further privileges on the system.

The account 'db2inst1' has the password 'db2inst1'. An attacker may use this to gain further privileges on this system.

The account 'db2fenc1' has the password 'ibmdb2'. An attacker may use this to gain further privileges on this system.

The account 'db2fenc1' has the password 'db2fenc1'. An attacker may use this to gain further privileges on the system.

The account 'db2inst1' has the password 'ibmdb2'.  An attacker may use this to gain further privileges on this system.
