Synopsis :

The remote database server allows execution of arbitrary code.

Description :

The version of Firebird installed on the remote host is vulnerable to
a buffer overflow in its protocol handling routine. By sending a
specially crafted 'op_connect' request, a remote, unauthenticated
attacker can execute code on the affected host with SYSTEM privileges.
