Installing IBM Guardium Database Protection Service updates

How To


Summary

The IBM Guardium team develops vulnerability assessment tests on a quarterly basis for all newly released database vendor versions and patches, Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) records, and known issues (APARs) for IBM Db2 for z/OS and IBM iSeries. The tests are released through the quarterly Guardium Database Protection Service (DPS) updates on IBM Support Fix Central. DPS only covers CVE related to database servers. CVE related to applications that use the database server are out of scope. CVE with a Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) score of 7 or higher trigger a rapid response workflow and new tests are released within 5-7 business days through ad hoc Rapid Response DPS updates on Fix Central.
