DB: IBM DB2 Universal Database receiveDASMessage Buffer Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known heap buffer overflow vulnerability in IBM DB2 Universal Database. It is due to insufficient bound checking on a user-supplied buffer length value in a receiveDASMessage message. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the db2admin user (with Administrator privileges on Windows platform).
Extended Description
