CVE-2009-2753: Multiple buffer overflows in the authentication functionality in librpc.dll in the Informix Storage Manager...

Multiple buffer overflows in the authentication functionality in librpc.dll in the Informix Storage Manager (ISM) Portmapper service (aka portmap.exe), as used in IBM Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) 10.x before 10.00.TC9 and 11.x before 11.10.TC3, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted parameter size.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a remote code execution issue in IBM Informix Storage Manager’s Portmapper service used by affected IBM Informix Dynamic Server releases. A remote attacker could trigger buffer overflows in authentication handling and potentially run code on the server. Treat exposed legacy Informix systems as business-critical risk. Exposure is most likely on legacy IBM Informix Dynamic Server 10.x or 11.x systems running Informix Storage Manager with the Portmapper service reachable over the network. Prioritize remediation where affected Informix servers support critical applications or are reachable beyond tightly controlled administrative networks. Legacy exposure increases operational and incident-response risk. Mitigation focus: Upgrade IDS 10.x to 10.00.TC9 or later.; Upgrade IDS 11.x to 11.10.TC3 or later.; Restrict ISM Portmapper access to trusted administration or backup networks..
