IBM Informix Dynamic Server 12.1 could allow an authenticated user to cause a buffer overflow that would write large assertion fail files to the server. Done enough times, this could use large parts of the file system and cause the server to crash. IBM X-Force ID: 125569.
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.
