According to its version, the IBM DB2 10.5 server running on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :
A remote, authenticated attacker, using a specially crafted ‘ALTER TABLE’ statement on an identity column, can cause a denial of service by crashing the server.
(CVE-2014-6209)
A remote, authenticated attacker, by using multiple ‘ALTER TABLE’ statements that specify the same column, can cause a denial of service by crashing the server.
(CVE-2014-6210)
An error exists in the XML library that allows a remote, authenticated attacker to cause denial of service via a crafted XML query that results in excessive CPU usage.
(CVE-2014-8901)
