Executive Summary

This vulnerability in IBM Db2 versions 10.5.0 through 10.5.11, 11.1.0 through 11.1.4.7, 11.5.0 through 11.5.9, and 12.1.0 through 12.1.3 for Linux allows an authenticated user to regain access to their account even after it has been locked due to password expiration. Essentially, the system does not properly enforce the account lockout after the password expiration date, enabling continued access.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can impact you by allowing users whose passwords have expired and whose accounts should be locked to still access the system. This could lead to unauthorized access, potentially compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data and resources within the affected IBM Db2 environment.
