IBM DB2 Universal Database DB2 JDBC Applet Server buffer overflow
| db2-db2jdbc-bo (34184) |  High Risk |
Description:
IBM DB2 Universal Database is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the DB2 JDBC Applet Server. By sending a specially-crafted request, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the server to crash.
