IBM DB2 UDB CONNECT and ATTACH denial of service variant 1
| ibm-db2-connect-attach-dos1 (45133) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
IBM DB2 UDB is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an unspecified error when processing requests. By sending a specially-crafted CONNECT and ATTACH request that simulates a v7 client connect/attach request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to crash.
