Multiple buffer overflows in IBM DB2 Universal Database 8.1 may allow local users to execute arbitrary code via long command line arguments to (1) db2start, (2) db2stop, or (3) db2govd.
Multiple format string vulnerabilities in IBM DB2 Universal Database 8.1 may allow local users to execute arbitrary code via certain command line arguments to (1) db2start, (2) db2stop, or (3) db2govd.
IBM DB2 7.1 and 8.1 allow the bin user to gain root privileges by modifying the shared libraries that are used in setuid root programs.
Multiple buffer overflows in the DB2 JDBC Applet Server (DB2JDS) service in IBM DB2 9.x and earlier allow remote attackers to (1) execute arbitrary code via a crafted packet to the DB2JDS service on tcp/6789; and cause a denial of service via (2) an invalid LANG parameter or (2) a long packet that generates a "MemTree overflow."
IBM DB2 UDB 8.2 before Fixpak 7 (aka fixpack 14), and DB2 9 before Fix Pack 2, on UNIX allows the "fenced" user to access certain unauthorized directories.
Certain setuid DB2 binaries in IBM DB2 before 9 Fix Pack 2 for Linux and Unix allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the DB2DIAG.LOG temporary file.
