Discussion

IBM DB2 Remote LOAD Command Buffer Overrun Vulnerability

A vulnerability has been discovered in IBM DB2. The problem occurs due to insufficient bounds checking when handling the LOAD command. As a result, a remote attacker with sufficient privileges may be capable of trigger a buffer overrun. This would effectively allow for the execution flow of IBM DB2 to be controlled, and could ultimately result in the execution of attacker-supplied code with the privileges of the target process.
