Descriptions

Multiple buffer overflows in oninit.exe in IBM Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) 7.x through 11.x allow (1) remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long password and (2) remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a long DBPATH value.

Múltiples Desbordamientos de búfer en oninit.exe de IBM Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) de la versión 7.x a la 11.x, permite (1)a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección a través de una contraseña larga (2) y usuarios autenticados remotamente, pueden ejecutar código de su elección a través de una variable DBPATH larga.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on systems with vulnerable installations of IBM's Informix Dynamic Server. User interaction is not required to exploit this vulnerability. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists in the oninit.exe process that listens by default on TCP port 1526. During authentication, the process does not validate the length of the supplied user password. An attacker can provide a overly long password and overflow a stack based buffer resulting in arbitrary code execution.
