Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Informix Dynamic Server, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.
1) An error within the "onedcu" command can be exploited to write to a specified trace file with escalated privileges.
2) An error in various set-uid binaries within the handling of the "SQLIDEBUG" environment variable can be exploited to create arbitrary files on an affected system.
Successful exploitation allows gaining "root" privileges.
