DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in IBM solidDB, which can be
exploited by malicious people to potentially compromise a vulnerable
system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in solid.exe when
parsing the username field in the first handshake packet. This can be
exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted packet
sent to e.g. TCP port 1315.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is reported in version 6.5 FP1 (6.5.0.1). Prior
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Reportedly fixed in version 6.5 Fix Pack 2.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
AbdulAziz Hariri and Zein Fneish of Insight Technologies, reported
via ZDI.
