IBM DB2 Multiple Unspecified Vulnerabilities (Linux)

Summary
The host is installed with IBM DB2 and is prone to multiple vulnerabilities.
Impact
Successful exploitation will allow attacker to bypass security restrictions, cause a denial of service and some are having unknown impact. Impact Level: System/Application
Solution
Update IBM DB2 9.5 FP 5 or 9.7 FP 1, http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&uid=swg24022678
Insight
The flaws are due to: - An unspecified error in RAND scalar function in the common code infrastructure component when the Database Partitioning Feature (DPF) is used. - An error in common code infrastructure component does not properly validate the size of a memory pool during a creation attempt, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors. - An error in install component when configures the High Availability (HA) scripts with incorrect file-permission and authorization settings.
Affected
IBM DB2 version 9.5 prior to FP 5 IBM DB2 version 9.7 prior to FP 1
