Description
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-1105)
CWE-ID: CWE-120 - Buffer overflow
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:H/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists in IBM DB2 due to buffer overflow. A local attacker can trigger memory corruption to overwrite DB2 files and cause the system to crash.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.
2) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-1297)
CWE-ID: CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H/E:P/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.
The weakness exists in IBM DB2 due to stack-based buffer overflow in the Command Line Process (CLP). A local attacker can supply specially crafted data to trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
