Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in DB2, which can be exploited by malicious users to escalate their privileges.
The problem is that certain command line arguments aren't properly verified. This can be exploited by supplying overly long, specially crafted strings and string containing format specifiers, which may allow execution of arbitrary code with escalated privileges.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in versions 7.0 and 8.1.
Do you have this product installed on your home computer? Scan using the free Personal Software Inspector. Check if a vulnerable version is installed on computers in your corporate network, scan using the Network Software Inspector.
Solution:
IBM has issued FixPak 4 for DB2 version 8.1.
http://www-3.ibm.com/cgi-bin/db2www/d...inos2unix/support/download.d2w/report
IBM has scheduled a release of FixPak 11 for DB2 version 7.0 later in November.
