  - Firebird is an open-source relational database management system. In versions prior to 5.0.4, 4.0.7 and
    3.0.14, when deserializing a slice packet, the xdr_datum() function does not validate that a cstring
    length conforms to the slice descriptor bounds, allowing a cstring longer than the allocated buffer to
    overflow it. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by sending a crafted packet to the server,
    potentially causing a crash or other security impact. This issue has been fixed in versions 5.0.4, 4.0.7
    and 3.0.14. (CVE-2026-33337)
