The Base Service Utilities component in IBM DB2 9.1 before Fixpak 5 retains a cleartext password in memory after the database connection that sent the password is fully established, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information by reading a memory dump.
The Downlevel DB2RA Support component in IBM DB2 9.1 before Fixpak 4a allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (instance crash) via a crafted CONNECT data stream that simulates a V7 client connect request.
db2dasrrm in the DB2 Administration Server (DAS) in IBM DB2 Universal Database 9.5 before Fix Pack 1, 9.1 before Fix Pack 4a, and 8 before FixPak 16 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on files used for initialization.
Stack-based buffer overflow in db2dasrrm in the DB2 Administration Server (DAS) in IBM DB2 Universal Database 9.5 before Fix Pack 1, 9.1 before Fix Pack 4a, and 8 before FixPak 16 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long DASPROF environment variable.
Untrusted search path vulnerability in db2pd in IBM DB2 Universal Database (UDB) 8 before FixPak 16 and 9 before Fix Pack 4 allows local users to gain root privileges via a modified DB2INSTANCE environment variable that points to a malicious library. NOTE: this might be the same issue as CVE-2008-0697.
Unspecified vulnerability in the DB2DART tool in IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands as the DB2 instance owner, related to invocation of TPUT by DB2DART.
IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 uses incorrect permissions on ACLs for DB2NODES.CFG, which has unknown impact and attack vectors. NOTE: the vendor description of this issue is too vague to be certain that it is security-related.
Unspecified vulnerability in the SSL LOAD GSKIT action in IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 has unknown impact and attack vectors, involving a call to dlopen when the effective uid is root.
