Multiple vulnerabilities in IBM DB2 UDB 8 before Fixpak 15 and 9.1 before Fixpak 3 allow local users to create arbitrary files via (1) unspecified vectors where an attacker's umask is honored, (2) /etc/ld.so.preload, (3) certain "cron data file locations", and other unspecified vectors possibly involving the (4) OSSEMEMDBG or (5) TRC_LOG_FILE environment variable in db2licd (db2licm).

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2007-4272 affects older IBM DB2 UDB releases. A person who already has local access to the server could cause DB2-related components to create files in unintended locations. Some named targets are highly sensitive, so the business concern is potential privilege escalation on database hosts. Exposure is limited to systems running the affected DB2 UDB versions, especially servers where non-administrative local users or service accounts can access the host. Network-only attackers are not described in the provided sources. Prioritize remediation on DB2 servers with local multi-user access or shared administrative environments. Risk is lower for isolated hosts with tightly controlled local access, but unsupported legacy database platforms remain a governance concern. Mitigation focus: Upgrade DB2 UDB 8 to Fixpak 15 or later.; Upgrade DB2 UDB 9.1 to Fixpak 3 or later.; Review IBM advisories and APARs for platform-specific instructions..
