Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in DB2, which can be exploited by malicious users to escalate their privileges.
The problem is that certain command line arguments aren't properly verified. This can be exploited by supplying overly long, specially crafted strings and string containing format specifiers, which may allow execution of arbitrary code with escalated privileges.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in versions 7.0 and 8.1.
