A co-worker recently forwarded a link to an article that describes a Denial of Service vulnerability for DB2 UDB. In summary, the vulnerability exists when a Telnet session is established to the ports that db2ccs.exe & db2jds.exe run on (typically ports 6790 & 6789) & sending 1 byte of information. The result is a server crash. The article specifically mentions that the vulnerability exists when DB2 UDB is running on Windows 2000 or Windows NT. No mention is made whether the vulnerability exists for DB2 UDB running on AIX or other platforms (the article appears on the Windows IT Security Web site). Has anyone heard whether the vulnerability exists on platforms other than WIN2K or WINNT? The link to the article is: http://www.windowsitsecurity.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=21820 Thanks for your time. ===== Marshall Fuqua [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
