Checks DB2 signature Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote database server is affected by multiple issues. Description : According to its version, the installation of DB2 on the remote host may crash when processing specially-crafted SQLJRA packets because it tries to dereference a NULL pointer in the function 'sqle_db2ra_as_recvrequest'. A remote attacker can send such packets without authentication to deny service to legitimate users of the application. In addition, the fenced userid may be able to access directories without proper authorization.
