IBM Db2 11.5.0 through 11.5.9, and 12.1.0 through 12.1.5 could allow an attacker with the ability to control or impersonate a DRDA server endpoint to execute arbitrary commands on Db2 clients due to a stack-based buffer overflow that improperly copies user-controlled data into a fixed-size stack buffer without bounds checking.
AnalysisAI
Stack-based buffer overflow in the IBM Db2 DRDA client allows full system compromise on any host running an affected Db2 client version when that client connects to an attacker-controlled or impersonated DRDA server endpoint. Affected versions are Db2 11.5.0 through 11.5.9 and 12.1.0 through 12.1.5. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The attacker must have the ability to control or impersonate a DRDA server endpoint that a Db2 client will connect to - this requires either a man-in-the-middle position on the network path between the Db2 client and its configured DRDA server (e.g., ARP spoofing, DNS hijacking, rogue BGP advertisement), or the ability to redirect the Db2 client to connect to an attacker-controlled DRDA listener (e.g., by modifying connection configuration or catalog entries). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H scores 7.5, reflecting full CIA impact tempered by AC:H (requires control or impersonation of a DRDA server) and PR:L. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Apply the vendor-released patch per IBM Support advisory https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7286993, which covers both the 11.5.x and 12.1.x branches. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, identify and inventory all systems running Db2 clients in versions 11.5.0-11.5.9 or 12.1.0-12.1.5, prioritizing production systems and those connecting across network boundaries. …
