bos.rte.libc 5.3.9.4 on IBM AIX 5.3 does not properly support reading a certain address field after a successful getaddrinfo function call, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via unspecified vectors, as demonstrated by IBM DB2 crashes on "systems with databases cataloged with alternate servers using IP addresses."

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2010-1124 is a denial-of-service issue in IBM AIX 5.3 libc. Affected systems may crash applications after getaddrinfo processing, with IBM DB2 crashes cited as an example. The business risk is service disruption on legacy AIX environments, especially database platforms using the described alternate-server configuration. Exposure appears limited to legacy IBM AIX 5.3 systems running bos.rte.libc 5.3.9.4. Highest concern is for DB2 deployments matching the cataloged alternate-server IP-address condition described in the CVE. Treat as a targeted legacy-platform reliability risk. Prioritize if AIX 5.3 supports important DB2 workloads or outage tolerance is low. If no affected AIX 5.3 assets exist, urgency is low. Mitigation focus: Review IBM APAR IZ66710 and apply vendor-supported remediation where applicable.; Inventory and prioritize legacy AIX 5.3 systems running bos.rte.libc 5.3.9.4.; Assess DB2 systems using alternate servers cataloged by IP address..
