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. | |
