DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC79105 Status: Closed

CLIENT MIGHT SEGV (CRASH) IN SQLEUCFREEDIAGINFO() DUE TO DEREFERENCING AN
ALREADY FREED MEMORY

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
Client process, like dsmserv, can SEGV (crash) with the 
following stack trace: 
 
  sqleUCfreeDiagInfo() 
  sqleuResetUCintfc() 
  [sqleUCinitUCintfc()] 
  sqleUCappConnect() 
  sqleStartUsingDatabase() 
  sqlubConnectDatabase() 
  db2Backup() 
  DB2BackupThread() 
  StartThread() 
 
The function in '[]' will or not show up depending on the 
compiler that was used. 
 
The crash would happen in sqleUCfreeDiagInfo() because we are 
trying to dereference 
memory that is pointing to freed (and possibly reused) memory. 
This might happen if a previous connection attempt would have 
failed.
