Overview
IBM Db2 Genius Hub versions 1.1.2 through 1.1.5 contain a vulnerability that allows a local attacker to trigger uncontrolled resource consumption. This flaw can lead to a denial of service condition on the affected system.
Description
IBM Db2 Genius Hub 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.1.4, 1.1.5 could allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service due to uncontrolled resource consumption.
Impact
The primary impact is availability, as the system may become unresponsive due to resource exhaustion. Confidentiality and integrity are not directly compromised by this specific flaw. Local users with access to the system are the primary threat actors. Organizations relying on Db2 Genius Hub for database management may experience operational disruptions if the service is taken offline.
Remediation
Apply the latest security patch or update to a version of IBM Db2 Genius Hub that addresses this vulnerability. Implement local access controls to restrict user privileges where possible. Monitor system resource usage for anomalies that may indicate resource exhaustion attempts.
Risk context
The CVSS v3 score of 3.3 indicates a low severity risk. The requirement for local access further limits the attack surface. No EPSS score is available, but the low severity and local nature suggest a lower urgency compared to remote, high-severity vulnerabilities.
