Detail

Synopsis

A buffer overflow in Firebird might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Background

Firebird is a multi-platform, open source relational database.

Description

The vulnerability is caused due to an error when processing requests from remote clients.

Impact

A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, or cause a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All Firebird users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=dev-db/firebird-2.5.3.26780.0-r3"

NOTE: Firebird package was moved to the testing branch (unstable) of Gentoo. There is currently no stable version of Firebird, and there will be no further GLSAs for this package.
