Only users of DB2 Advanced Copy Services (snapshot backup) are affected by this vulnerability. IBM DB2 includes a restricted version of IBM Tivoli Flash Copy Manager (FCM v3.2). FCM v 3.2 is affected by this vulnerability. IBM DB2 Advanced Copy Services in conjunction with IBM Tivoli FCM 3.2, on all current fix packs of IBM DB2 V10.1 and V10.5, are affected. AIX installations of DB2 may have this package installed by default, though it may not be in use on the system.

Remediation/Fixes

The recommended solution is to apply the appropriate fix for this vulnerability.

FIX:

The FCM package containing the fix For DB2 V10.1 and V10.5 can be found in Fix Central for V10.5 by searching for the keyword FCM.

The FCM packages for DB2 V10.5 can be used with both DB2 V10.1 and DB2 V10.5 on any fix pack.

Please note that for the AIX platform, DB2 V10.1 and DB2 V10.5, installing the fixpack will overwrite the FCM in sqllib/acs with a vulnerable version of FCM. You need to reapply the FCM fix after each fixpack update.

For installation instructions, please follow the documentation provided within the IBM DB2 information center:
