high Nessus Plugin ID 94898

Language:

Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its version, the installation of IBM DB2 10.5 running on the remote host is prior to Fix Pack 8. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- A local privilege escalation vulnerability exists due to insecurely loading binaries planted in a location that a SETGID or SETUID binary would execute. A local attacker can exploit this, via a malicious binary, to gain root privileges. (CVE-2016-5995)

- A denial of service vulnerability exists in the SQLNP_SCOPE_TRIAL() function due to improper handling of SQL statements. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to crash the database.

- A denial of service vulnerability exists in the Query Compiler QGM due to improper handling of specific queries. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted query, to crash the database.

Solution

Apply IBM DB2 version 10.5 Fix Pack 8 or later.
