Debian DSA-3824-1 : firebird2.5 - security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 99047

Synopsis

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

Description

George Noseevich discovered that firebird2.5, a relational database system, did not properly check User-Defined Functions (UDF), thus allowing remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code on the firebird server.

Solution

Upgrade the firebird2.5 packages.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 2.5.3.26778.ds4-5+deb8u1.
