VULNERABILITY DETAILS

CVE ID: CVE-2012-0709

DESCRIPTION:

The IBM DB2 products listed below contain a security vulnerability which would
allow an authenticated user to view data from a table to which they do not have 
authority to view. To exploit the vulnerability, the user would need to have 
valid security credentials to connect to the database and execute specially 
crafted SQL statements. To execute the SQL statements the user would need 
CREATEIN privileges to the database.

The vulnerability is not applicable to DB2 release V9.1.

mitigated by stopping DAS.

To stop DAS, you would need to have DAS administration authority.
1. Log in as an account or user ID that is part of the group defined in the 
DASADM_GROUP parameter.
2. Stop the DAS using the db2admin command as follows:
db2admin stop
