DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC68119 Status: Closed

Crash for query that contains like in a mixed/EUC codepage database.

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
If the following conditions are met: 
 
1) A query contains a "like" comparison, where the pattern to 
compare has prefixed characters followed by wildcard such as 
this example: 
select columns from table where pattern like "abc%" 
 
2) The data is in a mixed or EUC codepage 
 
3) The pattern "abc%" has a length that is greater than the 
column data that is being scanned. 
 
Then there exists the possibility that the comparison may do an 
invalid memory access that will crash the instance. In very tiny 
opportunity, a wrong result might return. 
 
If a stack traceback is generated, the function at the top of 
the stack will be an OS memory compare function (differs 
depending on platform, eg. intel_fast_memcmp on Intel platform) 
with sqlv_mixd_short_search() below it.
