10.0

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

Stack-based buffer overflow in the database service (ibserver.exe) in Borland InterBase 2007 SP2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed opcode 0x52 request to TCP port 3050. NOTE: this might overlap CVE-2007-5243 or CVE-2007-5244.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2008-1910 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-2008-1910. 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.
