What it is about

IBM DB2 ist ein relationales Datenbanksystem (RDBS) von IBM. Ein entfernter, anonymer Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in IBM DB2 REST ausnutzen, um beliebigen Code auszuführen, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen oder einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand zu verursachen.

Under what conditions?

Over the network and without logging in. This is the most dangerous combination: attackers can scan reachable devices automatically.

What can happen in the worst case

An attacker could use the vulnerability to

  • beliebigen Code auszuführen
  • Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen oder einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand zu verursachen

Am I affected?

Affected according to the BSI:

  • IBM DB2 REST <1.0.0.304-amd64
  • Dell Data Protection Advisor <19.12

The installed version is usually shown under “Help → About” or in the device’s admin interface.

What helps?

Update to at least:

  • IBM DB2 REST 1.0.0.304-amd64
  • Dell Data Protection Advisor 19.12

Is the vulnerability already being exploited?

None of the CVEs is in the CISA catalogue of exploited vulnerabilities. That does not mean there are no attacks, only that none are documented.
