Security service provider Core Security has announced the discovery of a vulnerability in the Firebird open source database. Attackers could exploit the vulnerability to inject arbitrary code onto the server.
Firebird is prone to an integer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to ensure that integer values aren’t overrun. Attackers may exploit this issue to overflow a buffer and to corrupt process memory.
Attackers may be able to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of an affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in a denial-of-service condition.
A bunch of major changes has just been committed into HEAD. This message
is intended to explain the details.
