Descriptions

IBM Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) before 9.40.xC7 and 10.00 before 10.00.xC3 does not use database creation permissions, which allows remote authenticated users to create arbitrary databases.

IBM Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) anterior a 9.40.xC7 y 10.00 anterior a 10.00.xC3 no utiliza permisos de creación de bases de datos, lo cual permite a usuarios autenticados remotamente crear bases de datos de su elección.

Informix Dynamic Server is a database developed by IBM. During a security assessment of Informix it was discovered that any user can create a database and thus gain DBA privileges. On Informix public has the connect privilege; thus anyone with a login may connect. Public can also issue the create database command. When the database is created, the user that created the database is made a DBA of that database. A DBA can execute code as the informix user and trivially gain root privileges. Versions affected include 9.40.xC6 and earlier and 10.00.xC2, C1.
