IBM DB2 < 9 Fix Pack 2 Multiple Vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Plugin ID 24699

Synopsis

The remote database server is affected by multiple issues.

Description

According to its version, the installation of IBM DB2 running on the remote host allows unsafe access to several setuid-root binaries. A local attacker can exploit this to crash the affected database server or possibly even gain root-level access.

In addition, the fenced userid may be able to access directories without proper authorization.

Solution

Apply DB2 Version 9 Fix Pack 2 or later.
