Vulnerability Details
CVE-ID: CVE-2014-6209
DESCRIPTION:
IBM DB2 contains a denial of service vulnerability. A remote, authenticated
DB2 user could exploit this vulnerability by executing a specially-crafted
ALTER TABLE statement on an identity column. This may cause DB2 server to
terminate abnormally. To exploit the vulnerability, the malicious user needs
to have valid security credentials to connect to DB2 and the authorization
associated with the authorization ID of the connection would need to match one
of the authorization scenarios listed below. Note that these authorities or
privileges could be obtained by membership in a group or by assignment of
certain role.
1) CONTROL or ALTER privilege on a table
The user would need either CONTROL or ALTER privilege on a table to execute
the ALTER TABLE statement. Customer could consult the SYSCAT.TABAUTH table to
determine the users, roles, and groups that have CONTROL privilege or ALTER
privilege on a table. Furthermore, the owner of a table has implicit control
privilege and the DBADM authority has implicit control privilege on all
tables. Customer could look up owner of a table from the SYSCAT.TABLES table.
2) ALTERIN privilege on any schema that contains a table
User with this privilege could execute ALTER TABLE statement on any table in
the schema. Customer could consult the SYSCAT.SCHEMAAUTH table to check for
users, roles, and groups with this privilege. Also, customer could check the
SYSCAT.TABLES for existence of tables in the schema.
3) CREATETAB authority on a database and USAGE privilege on at least one table
space
With this authority, the user could create a table and then execute ALTER
TABLE statement on that table. Customer could lookup the SYSCAT.DBAUTH table
to find out users, roles, and groups with CREATETAB authority and check the
SYSCAT.TBSPACEAUTH table for users, roles, and groups with USAGE privileges on
table spaces.

CVE ID: CVE-2014-6210
DESCRIPTION:
IBM DB2 contains a denial of service vulnerability. A remote, authenticated
DB2 user could exploit this vulnerability by issuing multiple ALTER TABLE
statements on the same column. This may cause DB2 server to terminate
abnormally. To exploit the vulnerability, the malicious user needs to have
valid security credentials to connect to DB2 and the authorization associated
with the authorization ID of the connection would need to match one of the
authorization scenarios listed below. Note that these authorities or
privileges could be obtained by membership in a group or by assignment of
certain role.
1) CONTROL or ALTER privilege on a table
The user would need either CONTROL or ALTER privilege on a table to execute
the ALTER TABLE statement. Customer could consult the SYSCAT.TABAUTH table to
determine the users, roles, and groups that have CONTROL privilege or ALTER
privilege on a table. Furthermore, the owner of a table has implicit control
privilege and the DBADM authority has implicit control privilege on all
tables. Customer could look up owner of a table from the SYSCAT.TABLES table.
2) ALTERIN privilege on any schema that contains a table
User with this privilege could execute ALTER TABLE statement on any table in
the schema. Customer could consult the SYSCAT.SCHEMAAUTH table to check for
users, roles, and groups with this privilege. Also, customer could check the
SYSCAT.TABLES for existence of tables in the schema.
3) CREATETAB authority on a database and USAGE privilege on at least one table
space
With this authority, the user could create a table and then execute ALTER
TABLE statement on that table. Customer could lookup the SYSCAT.DBAUTH table
to find out users, roles, and groups with CREATETAB authority and check the
SYSCAT.TBSPACEAUTH table for users, roles, and groups with USAGE privileges on
table spaces.
