    descriptionThe installation of IBM DB2 9.5 running on the remote host does not have Fix Pack 2 applied. It is, therefore, affected by the following issues : - DB2 does not mark inoperative or drop views and triggers if the definer cannot maintain the objects (IZ22307). - Password-related connection string keyword values may appear in trace output (IZ28489). - There is an unspecified vulnerability in the way CLR Stored Procedures for Visual Studio from IBM database add-ins are deployed (JR28431). - There is an unspecified buffer overflow in DAS server code (IZ22190). - INSTALL_JAR can be used to create or overwrite critical files on a system (IZ22143). - On Windows, the db2fmp process is running with OS privileges (JR30227).
