According to its version, the installation of IBM DB2 10.5 running on the remote host is prior to Fix Pack 8. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :
A local privilege escalation vulnerability exists due to insecurely loading binaries planted in a location that a SETGID or SETUID binary would execute. A local attacker can exploit this, via a malicious binary, to gain root privileges. (CVE-2016-5995)
A denial of service vulnerability exists in the SQLNP_SCOPE_TRIAL() function due to improper handling of SQL statements. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to crash the database.
A denial of service vulnerability exists in the Query Compiler QGM due to improper handling of specific queries. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted query, to crash the database.
