Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its version, the installation of IBM DB2 Connect running on the remote Windows host is either 9.7 prior to fix pack 11 Special Build 35317, 10.1 prior to fix pack 5 Special Build 35316, or 10.5 prior to fix pack 7 Special Build 35315. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - A denial of service vulnerability exists in LUW related to the handling of DRDA messages. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted DRDA message, to cause the DB2 server to terminate abnormally. (CVE-2016-0211)

 - A denial of service vulnerability exists in LUW when handling SELECT statements with subqueries containing the AVG OLAP function that are applied to Oracle compatible databases. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted query, to cause the DB2 server to terminate abnormally.
 (CVE-2016-0215)

Note that the IBM DB2 Connect installation is affected only if a local database has been created.

Solution

Apply the appropriate IBM DB2 Connect Special Build based on the most recent fix pack level for your branch.
