Debian DSA-1014-1 : firebird2 - buffer overflow

medium Nessus Plugin ID 22556

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Aviram Jenik and Damyan Ivanov discovered a buffer overflow in firebird2, an RDBMS based on InterBase 6.0 code, that allows remote attackers to crash.

Solution

Upgrade the firebird2 packages.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain firebird2 packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 1.5.1-4sarge1.
