IBM Informix Dynamic Server Authentication Password Stack Overflow
Vulnerability
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
A vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on
systems with vulnerable installations of IBM's Informix Dynamic Server.
User interaction is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
DETAILS
Vulnerable Systems:
* IBM Informix Dynamic Server
The specific flaw exists in the oninit.exe process that listens by default
on TCP port 1526. During authentication, the process does not validate the
length of the supplied user password. An attacker can provide a overly
long password and overflow a stack based buffer resulting in arbitrary
code execution.
