27
FAUCET Score

CVE-2005-4865 describes a critical stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in IBM DB2 versions 7.x and 8.1, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by supplying an overly long 'libname' parameter. This vulnerability carries a maximum CVSS score of 10.0, indicating a severe threat due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While no public exploits are readily available through common platforms like Metasploit or ExploitDB, and there is minimal community discussion or media coverage, its high FAUCET Risk Score of 96/100 underscores its significant potential impact.
