Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2002-1514 is a local privilege escalation issue in Borland InterBase. A local user could abuse how gds_lock_mgr handled a temporary file to overwrite files and potentially gain higher privileges. This matters mainly for legacy systems where untrusted users or applications can run code on the same host. Exposure is most likely on legacy Borland InterBase hosts where local users, service accounts, or compromised applications can create files in relevant temporary locations. Prioritize if Borland InterBase still supports business-critical systems or shared local access. This is a legacy issue, but privilege escalation on database servers can turn a limited compromise into host control. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems still running Borland InterBase or gds_lock_mgr.; Check Borland or successor vendor guidance for fixed versions or supported upgrade paths.; Restrict local shell access to InterBase hosts..
