Solution:
The vendor recommends that the "DTW_DEFAULT_ERROR_MESSAGE" feature (or "DTW_DEFAULT_MACRO" feature on zOS and iServer) is used to ensure that a web site reacts in a predictable manner when encountering problems.

Example:
In the Net.Data configuration file "db2www.ini", insert an entry such as:

DTW_DEFAULT_ERROR_MESSAGE <PRE>This Web Site is experiencing problems. Check back later. </PRE>

This will prevent various error messages from being returned to users.

Provided and/or discovered by:
Carsten Eiram, Secunia Research.

2004-03-09: Added link to US-CERT vulnerability note.
2005-02-15: Added CVE reference.
