iDefense Security Advisory 04.15.10 - Remote exploitation of an integer overflow vulnerability within AgentX++, as distributed with multiple vendors' products, allows attackers to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the AgentX master process. This vulnerability exists within the AgentX::receive_agentx function. If an attacker sends a request specifying the maximum 32-bit integer as the payload length, adding one will cause an integer overflow, resulting in the allocation of a "0" size buffer. Since an attacker can send as much, or as little, data as they wish, they can overflow the allocated heap buffer by an arbitrary amount.

This vulnerability occurs when processing specially crafted documents. When processing such a document, the software reads an integer value from the file and uses this integer, without validation, in an arithmetic operation to calculate the amount of memory to allocate. If a sufficiently large number is supplied, the calculation overflows, resulting in a buffer of insufficient size being allocated. The software then proceeds to copy data into this under-sized buffer. This results in an exploitable heap buffer overflow condition.

The vulnerability occurs when parsing a Shared String Table (SST) record inside of an Excel file. This record is used to hold a table of strings that are used inside of the document. One of the fields in this record is a 32-bit integer that represents the number of strings in the table. This value is used in a calculation that controls the number of bytes to allocate for a dynamic heap buffer. The value is not properly sanitized, which leads to an integer overflow in the calculation. This results in a heap based buffer overflow vulnerability.

The vulnerability occurs when parsing a Shared String Table (SST) record inside of an Excel file. This record is used to hold a table of strings that are used inside of the document. One of the fields in this record is a 32-bit integer that represents the number of unique strings in the table. This value is used to allocate an array of pointers to the strings contained inside of the table. When allocating this array, an integer overflow occurs in the calculation of its size. This leads to a heap based buffer overflow when the array is filled with pointers to strings from the file.

According to section 2.4 of the IETF Request For Comments (rfc) 4514, LDAP requests can contain strings that have been encoded using hexadecimal encoding. When Active Directory on Windows 2000 encounters such a request, it fails to release the memory associated with the hexadecimal encoded portion of the request. By continually making such requests, an attacker can exhaust virtual memory on the targeted system. iDefense confirmed the existence of this vulnerability using a Windows 2000 SP4 domain controller with all patches available as of January 2008 applied. All versions of Active Directory installed on Windows 2000 are suspected to be vulnerable.

This vulnerability exists due to the lack of bounds checking when processing certain records within a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Upon entering the vulnerable function, data is copied from a heap buffer into a stack buffer without ensuring that the data will fit. By crafting an Excel spreadsheet file properly, it is possible to write beyond the bounds of the stack buffer. The resulting stack corruption leads to arbitrary code execution.

This vulnerability exists when handling specific records within a specially crafted Microsoft Excel spreadsheet file. Within the vulnerable function, an integer value is read from the file. This value is later used in an arithmetic integer calculation. Since no validation is performed, an integer overflow can occur. This results in the allocation of a buffer that is too small to hold the data that is subsequently read from the file. A heap buffer overflow occurs, leading to an exploitable condition.

The problem specifically exists within sendrmt function. This function is called when a user tries to send mail using the "m" command. Within this function, several sprintf calls are made to concatenate user-supplied input with static strings. No bounds checking is performed to ensure that the resulting string will fit in the destination buffer located on the stack. By supplying a long parameter, an attacker is able to overwrite program control data located on the stack and take control of the affected process. iDefense has confirmed the existence of this vulnerability within AIX version 5.3 (5300-06) and 5.2. Previous versions are suspected to be vulnerable.

These vulnerabilities are due to insufficient checking being performed while handling files with elevated privileges. By setting certain combinations of environment variables, an attacker is able to create or append to arbitrary files on the system. iDefense confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in version 9.1 Fix Pack 2 of IBM Corp.'s DB2 Universal Database installed on a Linux system. All prior versions, as well as builds for other UNIX-based operating systems, are suspected to be vulnerable.
68f5e988169e1a1f9703ab258eee67f2763fe92aeb1c8a4ac21ddfb06c5cd74eiDefense Security Advisory 08.16.07 - Local exploitation of multiple race condition vulnerabilities in IBM Corp.'s DB2 Universal Database could allow attackers to elevate privileges to the superuser. These vulnerabilities are due to insufficient checking being performed while handling files with elevated privileges. In each case, a race condition exists between a check to see if an existing file is a symbolic link and modifying it. By quickly and repeatedly removing and recreating the file as a symbolic link, an attacker could modify arbitrary files with root privileges. iDefense confirmed the existence of these vulnerabilities in version 9.1 Fix Pack 2 of IBM Corp.'s DB2 Universal Database installed on a Linux system. All prior versions, as well as builds for other UNIX-based operating systems, are suspected to be vulnerable.
def2b551a679acaa494a7c32010e039efa2e488a7698767f83081bf79c986072iDefense Security Advisory 02.22.07 - Local exploitation of a multiple vulnerabilities in IBM Corp.'s DB2 Universal Database allow attackers to cause a denial of service condition or elevate privileges to root. Several vulnerabilities exist due to unsafe file access from within several setuid-root binaries. Specifically, when supplying certain environment variables, the DB2 administration binaries will use the specified filename for saving data. This allows an attacker to create or append to arbitrary files as root. A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability can occur when copying data from an environment variable. The variable contents are copied to a static BSS segment buffer without ensuring proper NUL termination. Consequently, this allows an attacker to cause a heap overflow in a later function call. A stack-based buffer overflow can occur when an environment variable contains a long string. By specifying a specially crafted value, it is possible to overwrite the return address of a function and execute arbitrary code. iDefense has confirmed the existence of these vulnerabilities within IBM Corp.'s DB2 Universal Database 9.1 release installed on Linux. Other versions, including those installed on other architectures, are suspected to be vulnerable as well. These vulnerabilities do not appear to affect DB2 Universal Database running on the windows platform.
