IBM » Db2 Universal Database : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs,

The audit facility in the Security component in IBM DB2 UDB 9.5 before FP6a uses instance-level audit settings to capture connection (aka CONNECT and AUTHENTICATION) events in certain circumstances in which database-level audit settings were intended, which might make it easier for remote attackers to connect without discovery.

dasauto in IBM DB2 8 before FP18, 9.1 before FP8, 9.5 before FP4, and 9.7 before FP1 permits execution by unprivileged user accounts, which has unspecified impact and local attack vectors.

Unspecified vulnerability in the server in IBM DB2 8 before FP17a, 9.1 before FP6a, and 9.5 before FP3a allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (trap) via a crafted data stream.

Unspecified vulnerability in IBM DB2 8 before FP17a, 9.1 before FP6a, and 9.5 before FP3a allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted CONNECT data stream.

Unspecified vulnerability in the JDBC Applet Server Service (aka db2jds) in IBM DB2 UDB 8 before Fixpak 17 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (service crash) via "malicious packets."

The Downlevel DB2RA Support component in IBM DB2 9.1 before Fixpak 4a allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (instance crash) via a crafted CONNECT data stream that simulates a V7 client connect request.

The Base Service Utilities component in IBM DB2 9.1 before Fixpak 5 retains a cleartext password in memory after the database connection that sent the password is fully established, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information by reading a memory dump.

The routine infrastructure component in IBM DB2 8 before FP17, 9.1 before FP5, and 9.5 before FP1 on Unix and Linux does not change the ownership of the db2fmp process, which has unknown impact and attack vectors.

Unspecified vulnerability in the DB2 Administration Server (DAS) in the Core DAS function component in IBM DB2 9.1 before Fixpak 5 allows local users to gain privileges, aka a "FILE CREATION VULNERABILITY." NOTE: this may be the same as CVE-2007-5664.

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in IBM DB2 9.1 before Fixpak 5 and 9.5 before Fixpak 1 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system outage) via vectors related to (1) use of XQuery to issue statements; the (2) XMLQUERY, (3) XMLEXISTS, and (4) XMLTABLE statements; and the (5) sqlrlaka function.

Buffer overflow in the DAS server program in the Core DAS function component in IBM DB2 9.1 before FP4a and 9.5 before FP1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via unspecified vectors. NOTE: this might be related to CVE-2007-3676.

Unspecified vulnerability in the CLR stored procedure deployment from IBM Database Add-Ins for Visual Studio in the Visual Studio Net component in IBM DB2 9.1 before Fixpak 5 and 9.5 before Fixpak 2 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.

IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 does not properly handle use of large numbers of file descriptors, which might allow attackers to have an unknown impact involving "memory corruption." NOTE: the vendor description of this issue is too vague to be certain that it is security-related.

IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 does not properly perform vector aggregation, which might allow attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and DBMS crash), related to an "overflow." NOTE: the vendor description of this issue is too vague to be certain that it is security-related.

IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 assigns incorrect privileges to the (1) DB2ADMNS and (2) DB2USERS alternative groups, which has unknown impact. NOTE: the vendor description of this issue is too vague to be certain that it is security-related.

Unspecified vulnerability in DB2LICD in IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 has unknown impact and attack vectors, related to creation of an "insecure directory."

Unspecified vulnerability in the SSL LOAD GSKIT action in IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 has unknown impact and attack vectors, involving a call to dlopen when the effective uid is root.

IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 uses incorrect permissions on ACLs for DB2NODES.CFG, which has unknown impact and attack vectors. NOTE: the vendor description of this issue is too vague to be certain that it is security-related.

Unspecified vulnerability in the DB2DART tool in IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands as the DB2 instance owner, related to invocation of TPUT by DB2DART.

Unspecified vulnerability in unspecified setuid programs in IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 allows local users to have an unknown impact.

Unspecified vulnerability in (1) DB2WATCH and (2) DB2FREEZE in IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 has unknown impact and attack vectors.

Stack-based buffer overflow in db2dasrrm in the DB2 Administration Server (DAS) in IBM DB2 Universal Database 9.5 before Fix Pack 1, 9.1 before Fix Pack 4a, and 8 before FixPak 16 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long DASPROF environment variable.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in db2pd in IBM DB2 Universal Database (UDB) 8 before FixPak 16 and 9 before Fix Pack 4 allows local users to gain root privileges via a modified DB2INSTANCE environment variable that points to a malicious library. NOTE: this might be the same issue as CVE-2008-0697.

db2dasrrm in the DB2 Administration Server (DAS) in IBM DB2 Universal Database 9.5 before Fix Pack 1, 9.1 before Fix Pack 4a, and 8 before FixPak 16 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on files used for initialization.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the AUTH_LIST_GROUPS_FOR_AUTHID function in IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 3 allows attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long argument.
