DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2

Users are able to incorrectly update statistics columns 
in SYSSTAT.TABLES for tables upon which they do not have 
appropriate privileges.  Thus, a malicious user may be able to 
introduce query performance degradations by modifying table 
statistics via this view. 
 
Normally, in order to update the statistics for a 
table via this view, you must have CONTROL or explicit 
DATAACCESS privilege on the table.    This APAR fix addresses 
this problem.
