Informix is an enterprise level database maintained and distributed by IBM. A problem with the Informix SQL add-on package makes it possible for a local user to overwrite critical system files. Due to the creation of predictable file "snmpd.log" in the /tmp directory, it's possible for a local user to take advantage of the flaw in setuid root program snmpdm. This could result in a denial of service, or the elevation of privileges.
