-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Researchers at NGSSoftware have discovered a high risk vulnerability in IBM's DB2 Universal Database Version 8.1 and earlier. IBM has just released Fixpak 8 for DB2 UDB 8.1 which addresses the security flaw http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/db2/udb/support/downloadv8.html NGSSoftware are going to withhold details about this flaw for three months. Full details will be published on the 9th of May 2005. At that time an updated advisory will be published at http://www.ngssoftware.com/advisories/db2-09-05-05.htm No updated advisory will be posted to the security mailing lists. This three month window will allow DB2 database administrators the time needed to test and apply the Fixpak before the details are released to the general public. This reflects NGSSoftware's new approach to responsible disclosure. NGSSQuirreL for DB2, NGSSoftware's advanced vulnerability assessment scanner and security manager for IBM DB2, has been updated to check for and positively identify this flaw in DB2 database servers on the network.
