APP: IBM Informix Dynamic Server oninit.exe EXPLAIN Buffer Overflow

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in IBM Informix Dynamic Server. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the server.

Extended Description

IBM Informix is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. Successfully exploiting this issue may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges, completely compromising affected computers. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
