CWE-119Published: October 6, 2007· Updated: Jun 16, 2026
Official Description
Stack-based buffer overflow in Borland InterBase LI 8.0.0.53 through 8.1.0.253 on Linux, and possibly unspecified versions on Solaris, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long attach request on TCP port 3050 to the open_marker_file function.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2007-5244 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2007-5244. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-119): Buffer overflow vulnerabilities can lead to arbitrary code execution or denial of service by corrupting adjacent memory.
