Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the (1) Communications Server (iigcc.exe) and (2) Data Access Server (iigcd.exe) components for Ingres Database Server 3.0.3, as used in CA (Computer Associates) products including eTrust Secure Content Manager r8 on Windows, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.
Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in Ingres database server 2006 9.0.4, r3, 2.6, and 2.5, as used in multiple CA (Computer Associates) products, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the (1) uuidfromchar or (2) duvegetargs functions.
Multiple "pointer overwrite" vulnerabilities in Ingres database server 2006 9.0.4, r3, 2.6, and 2.5, as used in multiple CA (formerly Computer Associates) products, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending certain TCP data at different times to the Ingres Communications Server Process (iigcc), which calls the (1) QUinsert or (2) QUremove functions with attacker-controlled input.
Ingres 2.5 and 2.6 on Windows, as used in multiple CA products and possibly other products, assigns the privileges and identity of users to be the same as the first user, which allows remote attackers to gain privileges.
Stack-based buffer overflow in the libbecompat library in Ingres 2.6, Ingres 2006 release 1 (aka 9.0.4), and Ingres 2006 release 2 (aka 9.1.0) on Linux and HP-UX allows local users to gain privileges by setting a long value of an environment variable before running (1) verifydb, (2) iimerge, or (3) csreport.
verifydb in Ingres 2.6, Ingres 2006 release 1 (aka 9.0.4), and Ingres 2006 release 2 (aka 9.1.0) on Linux and other Unix platforms sets the ownership or permissions of an iivdb.log file without verifying that it is the application's own log file, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files by creating a symlink with an iivdb.log filename.
wakeup in Ingres database server 2006 9.0.4, r3, 2.6, and 2.5, as used in multiple CA (Computer Associates) products, allows local users to truncate arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the alarmwkp.def file.
