4.2.35 Restrict Access to SYSCAT.STATEMENTS

Information

The SYSCAT.STATEMENTS view contains all SQL statements of a compiled package. It is recommended that the PUBLIC role be restricted from accessing this view.

Rationale:

PUBLIC should not have access to the SQL statements of a database package. This could lead to an exploit.

Solution

Perform the following to revoke access from PUBLIC.

Connect to the Db2 database.

db2 => connect to <dbname>

Run the following command:

db2 => REVOKE SELECT ON SYSCAT.STATEMENTS FROM PUBLIC
