Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Borland Interbase 2007 up to 8.1.0.256 (Database Software) and classified as critical. This issue affects an unknown part. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a numeric error vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-189. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Integer overflow in Borland Interbase 2007 SP2 (8.1.0.256) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed packet to TCP port 3050, which triggers a stack-based buffer overflow. NOTE: this issue might be related to CVE-2008-0467.

The weakness was presented 05/21/2008 by Damian Frizza with CORE Security (Website). The advisory is shared at coresecurity.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2008-2559 since 06/05/2008. 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 Python and been published even before and not after the advisory. The exploit is available at securityfocus.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 1 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $25k-$100k.

The best possible mitigation is suggested to be disabling the affected component.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (42558), SecurityFocus (BID 29302†), OSVDB (45422†), Secunia (SA30299†) and SecurityTracker (ID 1020092†). Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
