IBM DB2 < 8.1 Fix Pack 14 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 23937

Language:

Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its version, the installation of IBM DB2 running on the remote host may crash when processing specially crafted SQLJRA packets because it attempts to dereference a NULL pointer in the sqle_db2ra_as_recvrequest() function. A remote attacker can send such packets without authentication to deny service to legitimate users of the application.

In addition, the fenced userid may be able to access directories without proper authorization.

Solution

Apply IBM DB2 UDB Version 8.1 Fix Pack 14 or later.
