ISS X-Force Database: ibm-db2-connect-stream-dos(47931): IBM DB2 CONNECT stream denial of service

IBM DB2 CONNECT stream denial of service

ibm-db2-connect-stream-dos (47931)

Medium Risk

Description:

IBM DB2 is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error when processing a specially-crafted CONNECT data stream. By sending a specially-crafted CONNECT request, a remote attacker from within the local network could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to stop responding.

*CVSS:

Base Score:	3.3
Access Vector:	Adjacent Network
Access Complexity:	Low
Authentication:	None
Confidentiality Impact:	None
Integrity Impact:	None
Availability Impact:	Partial

Temporal Score:	2.6
Exploitability:	Proof-of-Concept
Remediation Level:	Official-Fix
Report Confidence:	Confirmed

Consequences:

Denial of Service

Remedy:

For IBM DB2 8:
Upgrade to the latest Fix Pack (17a or later) or apply APAR IZ37696. See References.

For IBM DB2 9.1:
Upgrade to the latest Fix Pack (6a or later) or apply APAR IZ36534. See References.

For IBM DB2 9.5:
