Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX and Windows (includes Db2 Connect Server) versions 10.5, 11.1, and 11.5

Description The issue exists due to insufficient input validation in the system, allowing a remote attacker to cause a denial of service using a specially crafted RUNSTATS command on an 8TB table.
