IBM DB2 8.x before 8.1 FixPak 15 and 9.1 before Fix Pack 2 does not properly terminate certain input strings, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code via unspecified environment variables that trigger a heap-based buffer overflow.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
