Multiple buffer overflows in oninit.exe in IBM Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) 7.x through 11.x allow (1) remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long password and (2) remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a long DBPATH value.
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.
