Multiple IBM Informix products .nfx buffer overflow
informix-nfx-bo (53644) 	
The risk level is classified as High Risk

Description:

Multiple IBM Informix products are vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, 
caused by improper bounds checking when processing .nfx files. By persuading a 
victim to open a specially-crafted .nfx file containing an overly long HostList 
entry, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on 
the system or cause the application to crash.
