Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Firebird version 1.5.2.4731

Description A buffer overflow issue exists in the inet server.cpp file, affecting both fb inet server and fbserver components. This allows local users to potentially gain privileges by providing a long value for the -p argument.

Recommendations For Firebird version 1.5.2.4731, consider restricting access to the fb inet server and fbserver components until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the -p argument with long values to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
