Vulnerability Details

   This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code
   on vulnerable installations of IBM solidDB. Authentication is not
   required to exploit this vulnerability.

   The specific flaw exists within the solid.exe process which listens by
   default on TCP port 1315. The code responsible for parsing the first
   handshake packet does not properly validate the length of the username
   field. By crafting an overly long value in the request an attacker can
   exploit this to execute arbitrary code under the context of the SYSTEM
   user.

Vendor Response

   IBM has issued an update to correct this vulnerability. More details
