CVE-2025-33133Network attack vector

Authenticated crash via out-of-bounds write

Published Oct 27, 2025 · Updated Oct 27, 2025

Out-of-bounds write in IBM Db2 High Performance Unload allows remote authenticated users to crash the program via network access. IBM has not published the affected component, attacker-controlled input, or operation that permits the write beyond classifying it as an out-of-bounds memory write. Access requires an authenticated low-privilege account; the reported consequence is a program crash, with no reported confidentiality or integrity impact.
