DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in IBM DB2, which can be
exploited by malicious, local users to manipulate certain data and
gain escalated privileges, by malicious users to bypass certain
security restrictions, gain escalated privileges, and cause a DoS
(Denial of Service), and by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial
of Service).

1) A security issue exists within the Common Code Infrastructure due
to the nodes.reg file having insecure world-writeable permissions.

2) An unspecified error within the Server component can be exploited
to cause a DoS.

3) An error within the Install component may allow local users to
escalate their privileges.

4) An unspecified error within the DAS component may allow
authenticated users to escalate their privileges.

5) An unspecified error within the XML feature can be exploited to
cause a DoS.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires CONNECT
privileges.

6) An unspecified error within some authorization checks can be
exploited to gain access to certain tables.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires CONNECT and
CREATEIN privileges.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 9.5 Fix Pack 9.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 9.5 Fix Pack 9.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
