What happened
A stack-based buffer overflow exists in HiRDB Server versions 9 and 10 and in the HiRDB Server with Additional Function variants, where input is written past the bounds of a stack buffer.
Are you affected?
You are affected if you run HiRDB Server 10 before 10-12-01, HiRDB Server 9 from 09-00 through 09-66-22, HiRDB Server with Additional Function 9 from 09-00 through 09-66/V, HiRDB Server 9(32) from 09-02 through 09-66-22, or HiRDB Server with Additional Function 9(32) from 09-00 through 09-66-/V.
HiRDB Server 10: from 10-00 before 10-12-01; HiRDB Server 9: 09-00 through 09-66-22; HiRDB Server with Additional Function 9: 09-00 through 09-66/V; HiRDB Server 9(32): 09-02 through 09-66-22; HiRDB Server with Additional Function 9(32): 09-00 through 09-66-/V
What to do
- Identify every HiRDB Server instance and its exact version, including any 'with Additional Function' variants
- Upgrade HiRDB Server 10 installations to 10-12-01 or later
- For version 9 and 9(32) installations, check the vendor advisory for a fix or mitigation, and restrict network access to the server in the meantime
- Confirm that database ports are not reachable from untrusted networks
