Loading vulnerability…
A stack-based buffer overflow exists in Borland InterBase versions LI 8.0.0.53 through 8.1.0.253 on Linux, and possibly on unspecified Solaris versions. The vulnerability is triggered by sending a long attach request to TCP port 3050, which overflows a buffer in the open_marker_file function, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in Borland InterBase (CVE-2007-5244) on Linux. The exploit works by sending a specially crafted attach request to the InterBase service running on TCP port 3050. The module allows the attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the InterBase service by delivering a payload (such as a shell) via the Metasploit framework. The exploit is operational and leverages the Metasploit payload system for customizable post-exploitation actions. The code is written in Ruby and follows the standard Metasploit module structure, with the main entry point being the 'exploit' method. No hardcoded IP addresses or URLs are present, but the default target port (3050) is fingerprintable as the InterBase service endpoint.
