According to its version, the installation of IBM DB2 running on the remote host is either 9.7 prior to Fix Pack 11 Special Build 40690, 10.1 prior to Fix Pack 6 Special Build 40689, 10.5 prior to Fix Pack 11 Special Build 40688, 11.1 prior to Fix Pack 6 , or 11.5 prior to Fix Pack 1. It is, therefore, affected by a file permissions flaw related to file handing that allows a local user to read and write specific files.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
