Security researchers have opened a critical client/server protocol error in IBM’s DB2 database.



According to Imperva’s Application Defense Center, this protocol will allow the attacker to the database server to bring it down or they can run in any arbitrary code in DB2 Version 8. An attacker does not need any database recommendations.



Since this is network-level flaw, it attack slipped by in-built DB2 in auditing mechanism.

When IBM has to make comment on this error, the company they make question mark to Oracle company who made slogan ‘Unbreakable’.



IBM, released that there is no database which has unbreakable code.



Now IBM development team is working continuously on various security factors to evaluate their code and detect potential problems.
