7.5 HIGH — AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Description

Buffer overflow in IBM Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) 9.40.TC7, 9.40.TC8, 10.00.TC4, and 10.00.TC5, when running on Windows, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long username, which causes an overflow in vsprintf when displaying in the resulting error message. NOTE: this issue is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2006-3853.

Affected configurations

• ibm informix dynamic database server 9.40.tc7 • ibm informix dynamic database server 9.40.tc8 • ibm informix dynamic database server 10.00.tc4 • ibm informix dynamic database server 10.00.tc5
