Borland Software Interbase 7.1

The admin.ib file in Borland Interbase 7.1 for Linux has default world writable permissions, which allows local users to gain database administrative privileges.

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.
