CVE-2007-1087
IBM DB2 8.x before 8.1 FixPak 15 and 9.1 before Fix Pack 2 does not properly terminate certain input strings, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code via unspecified environment variables that trigger a heap-based buffer overflow.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.53%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
