IBM Db2 for Linux, UNIX and Windows (includes Db2 Connect Server) 11.1 and 11.5 could allow an authenticated user to cause a denial of service with a specially crafted query due to improper memory allocation. IBM X-Force ID: 294295.

Weakness

The product allocates memory based on an untrusted, large size value, but it does not ensure that the size is within expected limits, allowing arbitrary amounts of memory to be allocated.
