Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify if IBM Netezza is installed
    Check the installed product by running 'nzversion' or 'nzhwversion' on the system, or check system documentation for Netezza installation
    Affected if The system runs IBM Netezza software
  2. Check the installed Netezza version
    Run the command 'nzversion' or 'nzsql -version' to retrieve the exact version number
    Affected if The version is 6.0.5, 6.0.8, or 7.0 (any version before applying patch P2)
  3. Verify if WebAdmin is enabled and accessible
    Check the WebAdmin configuration files or try to access the WebAdmin interface on the default port. Look for configuration files in the Netezza installation directory related to webadmin or admin interface.
    Affected if WebAdmin is enabled and exposed on the network (the SQL injection requires WebAdmin to be accessible)
  4. Check if patch P2 has been applied
    Query the patch status using 'nzpatch -status' or check the installed patches list. Alternatively, compare the current version/build to the patched version.
    Affected if Patch P2 has NOT been applied (the vulnerability remains unpatched)

You are affected if you run IBM Netezza versions 6.0.5, 6.0.8, or 7.0 with WebAdmin enabled and without patch P2 applied.
