CVE-2007-5652: Buffer Overflow
First published: Tue Oct 23 2007(Updated: )
IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 does not properly manage storage of a list containing authentication information, which might allow attackers to cause a denial of service (instance crash) or trigger memory corruption. NOTE: the vendor description of this issue is too vague to be certain that it is security-related.
