CVE-2019-4447: IBM DB2 High Performance Unload load for LUW 6.1, 6.1.0.1, 6.1.0.1 IF1, 6.1.0.2, 6.1.0.2 IF1, and 6.1.0.1 I...

IBM DB2 High Performance Unload load for LUW 6.1, 6.1.0.1, 6.1.0.1 IF1, 6.1.0.2, 6.1.0.2 IF1, and 6.1.0.1 IF2 db2hpum_debug is a setuid root binary which trusts the PATH environment variable. A low privileged user can execute arbitrary commands as root by altering the PATH variable to point to a user controlled location. When a crash is induced the trojan gdb command is executed. IBM X-Force ID: 163488.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw lets someone with local access to an affected IBM DB2 High Performance Unload for LUW host potentially gain root control. It is serious because it crosses from limited user access to full system control, but the provided sources do not show active exploitation. Exposure is likely limited to systems running IBM DB2 High Performance Unload for LUW versions 6.1, 6.1.0.1, 6.1.0.1 IF1, 6.1.0.2, 6.1.0.2 IF1, or 6.1.0.1 IF2. Treat as high priority for affected database infrastructure because compromise can lead to root-level host control. Urgency is strongest where untrusted or broad local user access exists. Mitigation focus: Check IBM advisory 10964592 for fixed builds or interim fixes.; Upgrade affected IBM DB2 High Performance Unload for LUW installations per IBM guidance.; Restrict local shell access on affected database utility hosts until remediated..
