The routine infrastructure component in IBM DB2 8 before FP17, 9.1 before FP5, and 9.5 before FP1 on Unix and Linux does not change the ownership of the db2fmp process, which has unknown impact and attack vectors.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the AUTH_LIST_GROUPS_FOR_AUTHID function in IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 3 allows attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long argument.

IBM DB2 Universal Database (UDB) 9.1 GA through 9.1 FP1 allows local users with table SELECT privileges to perform unauthorized UPDATE and DELETE SQL commands via unknown vectors.

Buffer overflow in the TCP/IP listener in IBM DB2 Universal Database (UDB) before 8.1 FixPak 12 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a long MGRLVLLS message inside of an EXCSAT message when establishing a connection.

Stack-based buffer overflow in libdb2.so in IBM DB2 7.x and 8.1 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long DB2LPORT environment variable.

Stack-based buffer overflow in call in IBM DB2 7.x and 8.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long libname.

Stack-based buffer overflow in JDBC Applet Server in IBM DB2 8.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary by connecting and sending a long username, then disconnecting gracefully and reconnecting and sending a short username and an unexpected db2java.zip version, which causes a null terminator to be removed and leads to the overflow.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the SATENCRYPT function in IBM DB2 8.1, when Satellite Administration (SATADMIN) is enabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long parameter.

Shared memory sections and events in IBM DB2 8.1 have default permissions of read and write for the Everyone group, which allows local users to gain unauthorized access, gain sensitive information, such as cleartext passwords, and cause a denial of service.
