CVE-2006-1241

CVE-2006-1241 describes a privilege escalation vulnerability affecting Firebird version 1.5.2.4731. This flaw arises from several executables (fb_lock_mgr, gds_drop, fb_inet_server) being installed with setuid firebird permissions, potentially allowing local users to gain elevated privileges through a buffer overflow (CVE-2006-1240) or other unspecified vulnerabilities. With a CVSS score of 4.6, this vulnerability is considered medium severity, requiring local access with low attack complexity to achieve partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. The EPSS score is very low, indicating a minimal likelihood of exploitation in the wild. There is no evidence of active exploitation, nor are there any public exploit modules available in Metasploit, Nuclei, or ExploitDB. Community discussion and media coverage are also absent, suggesting a lack of widespread attention or exploitation.
