IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 does not properly manage storage of a list containing authentication information, which might allow attackers to cause a denial of service (instance crash) or trigger memory corruption. NOTE: the vendor description of this issue is too vague to be certain that it is security-related.
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.
