**Description**
The issue is related to errors in the code of the IBM DB2 database management system. It can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service by using a scalar function in an SQL query. This can lead to a daemon crash. The estimated number of potentially affected devices worldwide is not specified.
**Recommendations**
For IBM DB2 version 9.7, update to a version after FP10 to resolve the issue.
For IBM DB2 version 9.8, update to a version after FP5 to resolve the issue.
For IBM DB2 version 10.1, update to FP5 or later to resolve the issue.
For IBM DB2 version 10.5, update to a version after FP5 to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of scalar functions in SQL statements until a patch is available.
