Description

This security bulletin contains information about 9 vulnerabilities.


1) Incorrect calculation (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-65104)

CWE-ID: CWE-682 - Incorrect Calculation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:H/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to disclose sensitive information and modify data.

The vulnerability exists due to improper data length handling in XSQLDA fields when processing responses from a Firebird 4 or higher server. A local user can use the firebird3 client with a newer server to disclose sensitive information and modify data.

The issue occurs when the firebird3 client is used with a Firebird 4 or higher server.


2) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-27890)

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds write in CNCT_specific_data handling when processing out-of-order CNCT_specific_data sequence segments during authentication. A remote attacker can send specially crafted sequence segments to cause a denial of service.

The issue can be triggered before authentication and may cause a SIGSEGV in the server process.


3) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-28212)

CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a null pointer dereference in xdr_slice() when processing an op_slice packet. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted packet to cause a denial of service.

The issue is triggered when slice_response->p_slr_sdl is unprepared and contains a null pointer that is passed to SDL_info(), causing the server to crash with SIGSEGV.


4) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-28214)

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to an integer overflow in ClumpletReader::getClumpletSize() when parsing a batch parameter block clumplet during batch creation. A remote user can send a specially crafted batch parameter block to cause a denial of service.

Exploitation requires valid authentication and INSERT privilege on a table.


5) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-28224)

CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to null pointer dereference in port_server_crypt_callback handling when processing an unauthenticated op_crypt_key_callback request. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to cause a denial of service.

The request can be sent without authorization.


6) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-33337)

CWE-ID: CWE-120 - Buffer overflow

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a buffer overflow in xdr_datum() when parsing a corrupted slice packet. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted slice packet to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs when a cstring length is not checked against the slice descriptor or the entire slice length before being written into a slice-sized buffer.


7) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-34232)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in xdr_status_vector() when parsing an op_response packet containing isc_arg_cstring in the status vector. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted packet to cause a denial of service.

The issue can crash the server while decoding a client-supplied op_response packet, even though such a request is later dropped in loopThread().


8) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-35215)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in sdl_desc() when processing a crafted slice packet. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted slice packet to cause a denial of service.

The issue results from a division by zero when the decoded SDL descriptor length is later used to calculate the number of items in the slice.


9) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-40342)

CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability exists due to path traversal in the external engine plugin loader when processing a CREATE FUNCTION statement with a crafted ENGINE name. A remote user can send a specially crafted SQL statement to execute arbitrary code.

The loaded library's initialization code runs immediately during loading, before Firebird verifies that the module is a valid plugin.
