CVE-2017-1677 describes an object injection vulnerability in the IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ, affecting IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows versions 9.7 through 11.1. This flaw arises from the driver deserializing the contents of /tmp/connlicj.bin, which can lead to arbitrary code execution if a malicious object is injected and suitable classes are present in the classpath. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.0 score of 7.8 (High), indicating a significant risk. It requires local access and low privileges (AV:L/PR:L), but once exploited, it can result in high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H). The attack complexity is low (AC:L), making it relatively easy to exploit once local access is gained. Currently, there is no evidence of active exploitation, and no public exploit code is available in Metasploit, Nuclei, or ExploitDB. Community discussion and media coverage for this CVE are minimal, suggesting it has not garnered widespread attention.
