This document discusses a security issue that occurred when improperly configuring DB2 federation. Specifically: 1. A client site configured DB2-LDAP federation but also enabled the FED_NOAUTH parameter, bypassing authentication. 2. This meant any user could connect to the database as any other user without providing the correct password. 3. If the database owner username was guessed, full access to all data could be obtained, potentially exposing the database to a major security breach. The issue was caused by incorrectly enabling the FED_NOAUTH parameter when federation was set up. Proper authentication should have occurred at the database rather than being bypassed. The moral is to not enable

Yes – this one really was the stuff of nightmares!
Top 10 DB2 Support Nightmares #8
Number 8 in our Top 10 DB2 Support Nightmares series. This month we take a look at what happens when organisations are not able to keep up to date with the latest DB2 technology.
Top 10 DB2 Support Nightmares #1
A junior DBA accidentally deleted all rows from a critical table in a pre-production environment. The DBA had connected to the wrong system and used the instance owner userid. The system administrator had enabled the FED_NOAUTH parameter, which bypasses authentication at the instance level. This meant any user could connect as any other user without the correct password and impact the database. The moral is that unintended consequences can occur from small configuration changes and it is important to get skilled DB2 support.

S3 l3 db2 environment - instances
DB2 uses instances to provide independent environments for creating databases. Instances act as managers for the databases within them. Administrators can create multiple instances on a system, with each instance capable of containing multiple databases. Instances allow separating production and test environments without needing separate servers. Different instances can also be configured separately depending on application needs or for security reasons. The DB2 registry stores variables that influence DB2 behavior, with instance-level variables applying only to a specific instance and global variables applying to all instances. Directories store connectivity information for databases and servers.

The presentation evaluates pureScale's benefits and customer experiences.
UKCMG DB2 pureScale
The document discusses IBM's pureScale technology which allows DB2 databases to scale up to 128 nodes for high availability and scalability. PureScale forms a shared-disk cluster and uses proven "data sharing" technology from DB2 for z/OS. It provides agility to rapidly scale up or down capacity as needed with little application change. The company Triton built a basic 2-node pureScale cluster within a budget of under £1K to validate IBM's claims and gain hands-on experience. Their testing showed the cluster delivered 1000 transactions per second under load. The summary concludes that pureScale provides robust clustering with excellent price/performance.
Episode 4 DB2 pureScale Performance Webinar Oct 2010
DB2 pureScale provides scalability and high performance through its clustered database architecture. It uses a cluster caching facility to manage data consistency across member nodes and leverage low-latency interconnects like InfiniBand. The architecture features two-level buffer pool caching between local and global pools for improved read performance. Monitoring and tuning focuses on optimizing buffer pool hit ratios at both levels. Initial proof points showed near-linear scalability up to 12 nodes and over 80% scalability even at 128 nodes, demonstrating the architecture's ability to transparently scale database workloads across many servers.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

- 2. Part 10 – Beware of over-federating The situation Image of a junior DBA During a DB2-LDAP configuration at a client site we stumbled upon a bizarre security exposure……
- 3. Using any DB2 client tool, it was possible to connect to the database as any user without having to get the password right! Once connected to the database, you only had access to the tables that the user had access to. However, this meant if anyone got the right username for the DB2 instance owner then they could select/add/delete any data they liked!
- 4. Image of a junior DBA In short, they had SYSADM authority which could potentially lead to a major security exposure. SECURITY BREACH!
- 5. How did it happen? In a desperate attempt to get federated technology to work, in addition to enabling the FEDERATED database manager parameter, the FED_NOAUTH (bypass federated authentication) parameter had also been enabled (set to YES). This was the problem. When FED_NOAUTH is set to YES, FEDERATED is set to YES and authentication is set to SERVER or SERVER_ENCRYPT, then authentication at the instance is bypassed. It is assumed that authentication will happen at the data source. The Moral
- 6. The moral of the story You do NOT need FED_NOAUTH enabled to implement federation in DB2!
- 7. If in doubt, call the experts!
