Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Borland Interbase up to 7.1 (Database Software). This issue affects an unknown code of the component ibserver. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. Impacted is availability. The summary by CVE is:

Buffer overflow in ibserver for Firebird Database 1.0 and other versions before 1.5, and possibly other products that use the InterBase codebase, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a long database name, as demonstrated using the gsec command.

The weakness was shared 06/17/2002 by Beyond Security and KF (Website). The advisory is shared at secunia.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2004-2043 since 05/04/2005. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is needed for a successful exploitation. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available.

A public exploit has been developed in Perl and been published immediately after the advisory. The exploit is available at securityfocus.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 22556 (Debian DSA-1014-1 : firebird2 - buffer overflow), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Debian Local Security Checks and running in the context l.

Upgrading eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published 5 years after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (16316), Exploit-DB (303), Tenable (22556), SecurityFocus (BID 10446†) and OSVDB (6408†). The entry VDB-82043 is related to this item. Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
