CVE-2006-3853

Buffer overflow in IBM Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) before 9.40.TC7 and 10.00 before 10.00.TC3, when running on Windows, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long username.

CVE-2006-3855

The ifx_load_internal function in IBM Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary C code via the DllMain or _init function in a library, aka "C code UDR."

CVE-2006-3856

IBM Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) before 9.40.xC7 and 10.00 before 10.00.xC3 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via unspecified vectors.

CVE-2006-3858

IBM Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) before 9.40.xC8 and 10.00 before 10.00.xC4 stores passwords in plaintext in shared memory, which allows local users to obtain passwords by reading the memory (product defects 171893, 171894, 173772).

CVE-2006-3861

IBM Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) before 9.40.xC7 and 10.00 before 10.00.xC3 does not use database creation permissions, which allows remote authenticated users to create arbitrary databases.

Buffer overflow in IBM Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) 9.40.TC5 through 9.40.xC7 and 10.00.TC1 through 10.00.xC3 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via the SQLIDEBUG environment variable (envariable).

CVE-2006-5163

IBM Informix Dynamic Server 10.UC3RC1 Trial for Linux and possibly other versions creates /tmp/installserver.txt with insecure permissions, which allows local users to append data to arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

CVE-2006-5663

IBM Informix Dynamic Server 10.00, Informix Client Software Development Kit (CSDK) 2.90, and Informix I-Connect 2.90 use insecure permissions for installation scripts, which allows local users to gain privileges by modifying the scripts.

CVE-2006-5664

The installation script in IBM Informix Dynamic Server 10.00, Informix Client Software Development Kit (CSDK) 2.90, and Informix I-Connect 2.90 allows local users to "compromise security" via a symlink attack on temporary files.
