Firebird · Firebird · CVE-2026-33337
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Firebird versions prior to 5.0.4
Firebird versions prior to 4.0.7
Firebird versions prior to 3.0.14
**Description**
An issue exists during the deserialization of a slice packet where the `xdr datum()` function fails to validate that a cstring length conforms to the slice descriptor bounds. This allows 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.
**Recommendations**
Update to version 5.0.4
Update to version 4.0.7
Update to version 3.0.14
