Descriptions
Buffer overflow in IBM Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) before 9.40.TC7 and 10.00 before 10.00.TC3, when running on Windows, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long username.
Desbordamiento de búfer en IBMInformix Dynamic Server (IDS) anterior a 9.40.TC7 y 10.00 anterior a 10.00.TC3, cuando se ejecuta en Windows, permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección mediante un nombre de usuario largo.
When an Informix server logs on a user it copies the username to a 260 byte stack based buffer without first verifying its length. An attacker can exploit this by overflowing this buffer to overwrite the saved return address on the stack and thus redirect the process' path of execution to a location of their choosing. Versions 9.40.xC6 and below are affected. Versions 10.00.xC2 and below are affected.
