Description

DB2 contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to gain access to unauthorized privileges. The Remote Command Server, DB2RCMD.EXE, listens on a named port DB2REMOTECMD. When a connection is made to the pipe a new process is created, db2rcmdc.exe, which executes the command with the privileges of the db2admin administrator account. This flaw may lead to a loss of Confidentiality, Integrity or Availability.
