Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by a file read and overwrite vulnerability.

Description

According to its version, the installation of IBM DB2 running on the remote host is either 9.7 prior to Fix Pack 11 Special Build 40690, 10.1 prior to Fix Pack 6 Special Build 40689, 10.5 prior to Fix Pack 11 Special Build 40688, 11.1 prior to Fix Pack 6 , or 11.5 prior to Fix Pack 1. It is, therefore, affected by a file permissions flaw related to file handing that allows a local user to read and write specific files.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

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