Technical Analysis
The FirebirdSQL server is vulnerable to a stack buffer overflow that can be triggered when an unauthenticated user sends a specially crafted packet. The result can lead to remote code execution as the user which runs the FirebirdSQL server.
A lack of ASLR in some modules makes exploiting this vulnerability easier as memory locations do not need to be leaked. If the service crashes, it will automatically be restarted in the default configuration.

Report as Exploited in the Wild
What do we mean by "exploited in the wild"?
By selecting this, you are verifying to the AttackerKB community that either you, or a reputable source (example: a security vendor or researcher), has observed an active attempt by attackers, or IOCs related, to exploit this vulnerability outside of a research environment.
A vulnerability should also be considered "exploited in the wild" if there is a publicly available PoC or exploit (example: in an exploitation framework like Metasploit).
