DescriptionCVE.org

IBM Informix Dynamic Server 14.10, 12.10.x, and 15.0 IBM Informix oninit sq_sgkprepare RCE via unchecked SQL Interface length field.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in IBM Informix Dynamic Server 14.10, 12.10.x, and 15.0 is possible through a stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121) in the oninit daemon's sq_sgkprepare function, triggered when processing a SQL interface request containing an unchecked length field. An authenticated, network-adjacent attacker with low-privilege SQL credentials can exploit this to achieve full compromise of the database server, resulting in complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. …
