Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow in HiRDB on Windows allows remote code execution when the remote shell facility is explicitly enabled. The vulnerability requires network access but no authentication or user interaction; an unauthenticated attacker can send a specially crafted request to trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the HiRDB process.
