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 :

- The 'db2dart' tool executes the 'tput' command which effectively allows a malicious user to run commands as the DB2 instance owner (IZ03646).

- 'db2watch' and 'db2freeze' have some unspecified vulnerability (IZ03655).

- Incorrect permissions on ACLs for 'DB2NODES.CFG' (JR26989).
