Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in IBM DB2 Universal Database up to 9.0 (Database Software). This affects the function sqlrlaka. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in IBM DB2 9.1 before Fixpak 5 and 9.5 before Fixpak 1 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system outage) via vectors related to (1) use of XQuery to issue statements; the (2) XMLQUERY, (3) XMLEXISTS, and (4) XMLTABLE statements; and the (5) sqlrlaka function.

The weakness was presented 08/28/2008 by Martin Rakhmanov with Application Security Inc. (Website). The advisory is shared at xforce.iss.net. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2008-3854 since 08/28/2008. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 33763 (IBM DB2 < 9.5 Fix Pack 1 Multiple Vulnerabilities), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Databases and running in the context r.

Upgrading to version 9.1 eliminates this vulnerability. Furthermore it is possible to detect and prevent this kind of attack with TippingPoint and the filter 8789.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (42935), Tenable (33763), SecurityFocus (BID 29601†), OSVDB (46264†) and Secunia (SA30558†). See VDB-3463, VDB-3464, VDB-3462 and VDB-38411 for similar entries. Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
