APP: IBM Informix Dynamic Server SET ENVIRONMENT Stack Buffer Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known stack buffer overflow vulnerability in IBM Informix Dynamic Server. It is due to insufficient bound checking on a user-supplied buffer length value in a SET ENVIRONMENT SQL statement. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the IBM Informix Dynamic Server.
Extended Description
IBM Informix is prone to a remote code-execution 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.
