Flashes (Alerts)
Abstract
This document contains a list of fixes for Security and HIPER APARs in DB2 Version 9.8
IBM® recommends that you review the APAR descriptions and deploy one of the above fix packs to correct them on your affected DB2 installations.
Content
A set of security vulnerabilities was discovered in some DB2 database products. These vulnerabilities were analyzed by the DB2 development organization and a set of corresponding fixes was created to address the reported issues. IBM is not currently aware of any externally reported incidents where production DB2 installations have been compromised due to these issues.
The affected DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows products are:
- DB2 Enterprise Server Edition
Due to the complexity of the fixes required to eliminate the reported service issues, it is not feasible to retrofit the same fixes into earlier DB2 Version 9.8 fix packs.
