Description:
Luigi Auriemma has discovered some vulnerabilities in IBM solidDB, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

1) A format string error within the Solid Database Engine (solid.exe) can be exploited via a specially crafted packet containing format string specifiers sent to default port 1315/TCP.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

2) An input validation error within the Solid Database Engine can be exploited to cause the server to access an invalid memory address via a specially crafted packet sent to default port 1315/TCP.

3) A NULL-pointer dereference error within the Solid Database Engine can be exploited to cause the server to crash via a specially crafted packet sent to default port 1315/TCP.

4) An input validation error within the Solid Database Engine can be exploited to cause the server to terminate via a specially crafted packet sent to default port 1315/TCP.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in IBM solidDB version 6.0 including solid.exe version 6.0.0.1018. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Restrict network access to the Solid Database Engine.
