CVE-2004-1372
Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in IBM DB2 7.x and 8.1 allow local users to execute arbitrary code via (1) a long third argument to the rec2xml function or (2) a long filename argument to the generate_distfile procedure.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.49%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
