IBM DB2 INVOKE Command Stack Overflow Vulnerability
Advisory Details - ----------------
Title: IBM DB2 INVOKE Command Stack Overflow Vulnerability Announcement date: 1st October 2003 Advisory Reference: ptl-2003-02 CVE Name: CAN-2003-0837 Product: IBM DB2 Universal Database Vulnerability Type : Buffer Overflow Vendor-URL: http://www.ibm.com/data/db2/udb Vendor-Status: Fixpack Issued Remotely Exploitable: Yes Locally Exploitable: Yes Advisory URL: http://www.pentest.co.uk/
Vulnerability Description - -------------------------
DB2 is IBM's relational database software. The IBM DB2 INVOKE command invokes a procedure stored at the location of a database. It is also known as the Database Application Remote Interface (DARI). The server procedure executes at the location of the database, and returns data to the client application.
This command is vulnerable to a stack based overflow that allows an attacker with "Connect" privileges to the database to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable machine in the context of the Administrators group on Windows NT.
The vulnerability is triggered by issuing a carefully crafted INVOKE command.
Vulnerable Versions - -------------------
IBM DB2 Universal Data Base v7.2 for Windows is vulnerable.
The vendor has stated that 'the problem was limited to Windows specific code in v7 that was replaced in v8. So, the vulnerability does not affect any of the UNIX or Linux versions, nor does it affect version 8.'
