IBM DB2 9.8 < Fix Pack 5 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 59905

Language:

Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its version, the installation of IBM DB2 9.8 running on the remote host is prior to Fix Pack 5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- An authorized user with 'CONNECT' privileges from 'PUBLIC' can cause a denial of service via unspecified methods related to DB2's XML feature. (CVE-2012-0712)

- An unspecified information disclosure vulnerability exists related to the XML feature that can allow improper access to arbitrary XML files. (CVE-2012-0713)

- An error exists related to the Distributed Relational Database Architecture (DRDA) that can allow denial of service conditions when processing certain request.
(CVE-2012-2180)

- A security bypass vulnerability exists due to the persistence of privileges when they're removed from users. An attacker can exploit this to execute non-DDL statements even if their privileges have been revoked.

- An unspecified flaw exists that allows an attacker to cause a denial of service condition when Self Tuning Memory Manager (STMM) is enabled and DATABASE_MEMORY is set to AUTOMATIC.

Solution

Upgrade to IBM DB2 version 9.8 Fix Pack 5 or later.
