Stack-based buffer overflow in IBM DB2 UDB 8 before Fixpak 15 and 9.1 before Fixpak 3 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long DASPROF and possibly other environment variables, which are copied into the buildDasPaths buffer.
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.
