Firebird is an open-source relational database management system. In versions prior to 5.0.4, 4.0.7 and 3.0.14, the external engine plugin loader concatenates a user-supplied engine name into a filesystem path without filtering path separators or .. components. An authenticated user with CREATE FUNCTION privileges can use a crafted ENGINE name to load an arbitrary shared library from anywhere on the filesystem via path traversal. The library's initialization code executes immediately during loading, before Firebird validates the module, achieving code execution as the server's OS account. This issue has been fixed in versions 5.0.4, 4.0.7 and 3.0.14.

Backdoor account in Interbase database server allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files using stored procedures.

Buffer overflow in fbserver.exe in Firebird SQL 2 before 2.0.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large pcnctcount value in a pcnct structure in a connect (0x01) request to port 3050/tcp, related to "an InterBase version of gds32.dll."

Stack-based buffer overflow in Firebird before 2.0.4, and 2.1.x before 2.1.0 RC1, might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long username.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the processpacket function in fbserver.exe in Firebird SQL 2.0.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long request to TCP port 3050.

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in Firebird LI 1.5.3.4870 and 1.5.4.4910, and WI 1.5.3.4870 and 1.5.4.4910, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) a long service attach request on TCP port 3050 to the SVCattach function or (2) unspecified vectors involving the INETconnect function.

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in Firebird LI 2.0.0.12748 and 2.0.1.12855, and WI 2.0.0.12748 and 2.0.1.12855, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) a long attach request on TCP port 3050 to the iscattachdatabase function or (2) a long create request on TCP port 3050 to the isccreatedatabase function.

An authenticated remote attacker can execute arbitrary code in Firebird SQL Server versions 2.5.7 and 3.0.2 by executing a malformed SQL statement.

Firebird is a relational database. Prior to snapshot versions 4.0.6.3183, 5.0.2.1610, and 6.0.0.609, Firebird is vulnerable if ExtConnPoolSize is not set equal to 0. If connections stored in ExtConnPool are not verified for presence and suitability of the CryptCallback interface is used when created versus what is available could result in a segfault in the server process. Encrypted databases, accessed by execute statement on external, may be accessed later by an attachment missing a key to that database. In a case when execute statement are chained, segfault may happen. Additionally, the segfault may affect unencrypted databases. This issue has been patched in snapshot versions 4.0.6.3183, 5.0.2.1610, and 6.0.0.609 and point releases 4.0.6 and 5.0.2. A workaround for this issue involves setting ExtConnPoolSize equal to 0 in firebird.conf.

Insufficient checks in the UDF subsystem in Firebird 2.5.x before 2.5.7 and 3.0.x before 3.0.2 allow remote authenticated users to execute code by using a 'system' entrypoint from fbudf.so.

Firebird is an open-source relational database management system. In versions prior to 5.0.4, 4.0.7 and 3.0.14, when processing CNCTspecificdata segments during authentication, the server assumes segments arrive in strictly ascending order. If segments arrive out of order, the Array class's grow() method computes a negative size value, causing a SIGSEGV crash. An unauthenticated attacker who knows only the server's IP and port can exploit this to crash the server. This issue has been fixed in versions 5.0.4, 4.0.7 and 3.0.14.

Firebird is an open-source relational database management system. In versions prior to 5.0.4, 4.0.7 and 3.0.14, when the server receives an opcryptkeycallback packet without prior authentication, the portservercryptcallback handler is not initialized, resulting in a null pointer dereference and server crash. An unauthenticated attacker who knows only the server's IP and port can exploit this to crash the server. This issue has been fixed in versions 5.0.4, 4.0.7 and 3.0.14.

Firebird is an open-source relational database management system. In versions FB3 of the client library placed incorrect data length values into XSQLDA fields when communicating with FB4 or higher servers, resulting in an information leak. This issue is fixed by upgrading to the FB4 client or higher.

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Firebird 1.5 allow remote attackers to (1) cause a denial of service (application crash) by sending many remote protocol versions; and (2) cause a denial of service (connection drop) via certain network traffic, as demonstrated by Nessus vulnerability scanning.

Multiple buffer overflows in Firebird 2.1 allow attackers to trigger memory corruption and possibly have other unspecified impact via certain input processed by (1) config\ConfigFile.cpp or (2) msgs\checkmsgs.epp. NOTE: if ConfigFile.cpp reads a configuration file with restrictive permissions, then the ConfigFile.cpp vector may not cross privilege boundaries and perhaps should not be included in CVE.

Integer overflow in Firebird SQL 1.0.3 and earlier, 1.5.x before 1.5.6, 2.0.x before 2.0.4, and 2.1.x before 2.1.0 RC1 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted (1) opreceive, (2) opstart, (3) opstartandreceive, (4) opsend, (5) opstartandsend, and (6) opstartsendandreceive XDR requests, which triggers memory corruption.

Firebird is a relational database. Versions 4.0.0 through 4.0.3 and version 5.0 beta1 are vulnerable to a server crash when a user uses a specific form of SET BIND statement. Any non-privileged user with minimum access to a server may type a statement with a long CHAR length, which causes the server to crash due to stack corruption. Versions 4.0.4.2981 and 5.0.0.117 contain fixes for this issue. No known workarounds are available.

Firebird is a relational database. Prior to versions 3.0.13, 4.0.6, and 5.0.3, there is an XDR message parsing NULL pointer dereference denial-of-service vulnerability in Firebird. This specific flaw exists within the parsing of xdr message from client. It leads to NULL pointer dereference and DoS. This issue has been patched in versions 3.0.13, 4.0.6, and 5.0.3.

Firebird is an open-source relational database management system. In versions prior to 6.0.0, 5.0.4, 4.0.7 and 3.0.14, when processing an opslice network packet, the server passes an unprepared structure containing a null pointer to the SDLinfo() function, resulting in a null pointer dereference and server crash. An unauthenticated attacker can trigger this by sending a crafted packet to the server port. This issue has been fixed in versions 6.0.0, 5.0.4, 4.0.7 and 3.0.14.

Firebird is an open-source relational database management system. In versions prior to 5.0.4, 4.0.7 and 3.0.14, when deserializing a slice packet, the xdrdatum() function does not validate that a cstring length conforms to the slice descriptor bounds, allowing a cstring longer than the allocated buffer to overflow it. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by sending a crafted packet to the server, potentially causing a crash or other security impact. This issue has been fixed in versions 5.0.4, 4.0.7 and 3.0.14.

Firebird is an open-source relational database management system. In versions prior to 5.0.4, 4.0.7 and 3.0.14, the xdrstatusvector() function does not handle the iscargcstring type when decoding an opresponse packet, causing a server crash when one is encountered in the status vector. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by sending a crafted opresponse packet to the server. This issue has been fixed in versions 5.0.4, 4.0.7 and 3.0.14.

Firebird is an open-source relational database management system. In versions prior to 5.0.4, 4.0.7 and 3.0.14, the sdldesc() function does not validate the length of a decoded SDL descriptor from a slice packet. A zero-length descriptor is later used to calculate the number of slice items, causing a division by zero. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by sending a crafted slice packet to crash the server. This issue has been fixed in versions 5.0.4, 4.0.7 and 3.0.14.

The (1) Mozilla 1.6, (2) Firebird 0.7, (3) Firefox 0.8, and (4) Netscape 7.1 web browsers do not properly prevent a frame in one domain from injecting content into a frame that belongs to another domain, which facilitates web site spoofing and other attacks, aka the frame injection vulnerability.

The (1) Mozilla 1.6, (2) Firebird 0.7 and (3) Firefox 0.8 web browsers do not properly verify that cached passwords for SSL encrypted sites are only sent via SSL encrypted sessions to the site, which allows a remote attacker to cause a cached password to be sent in cleartext to a spoofed site.

Unspecified vulnerability in the (1) attach database and (2) create database functionality in Firebird before 2.0.2, when a filename exceeds MAXPATHLEN, has unknown impact and attack vectors, aka CORE-1405.

Buffer overflow gdslockmgr of Interbase Database 6.x allows local users to gain privileges via a long ISCLOCKENV environment variable (INTERBASELOCK).

Multiple buffer overflows in Firebird 1.5, one of which affects WNET, have unknown impact and attack vectors. NOTE: this issue might overlap CVE-2006-1240.

Integer overflow in Firebird 2.0.0 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via certain database operations with multi-byte character sets that trigger an attempt to use the value 65536 for a 16-bit integer, which is treated as 0 and causes an infinite loop on zero-length data.

Stack-based buffer overflow in Firebird 2.1.3 through 2.1.5 before 18514, and 2.5.1 through 2.5.3 before 26623, on Windows allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted packet to TCP port 3050, related to a missing size check during extraction of a group number from CNCT information.

FireBird 2.5.5 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) by using service manager to invoke the gbak utility with an invalid parameter.
