Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The admin.ib file in Borland Interbase 7.1 for Linux has default world writable permissions, which allows local users to gain database administrative privileges.

Risk Assessment

The risk is that any local user can modify the configuration file and gain full control over the database, potentially leading to data confidentiality, integrity, and availability breaches.

Recommendation

Immediately change the permissions of the admin.ib file to more restrictive ones, e.g., 600 (read and write only for the owner), and verify the permission configuration of other system files.
