high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 477743

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Firebird is an open-source relational database management system. In versions prior to 5.0.4, 4.0.7 and
 3.0.14, when the server receives an op_crypt_key_callback packet without prior authentication, the
 port_server_crypt_callback handler is not initialized, resulting in a null pointer dereference and server
 crash. An unauthenticated attacker who knows only the server's IP and port can exploit this to crash the
 server. This issue has been fixed in versions 5.0.4, 4.0.7 and 3.0.14. (CVE-2026-28224)

Solution

Update the firebird4.0 library and its related packages to version 4.0.5.3140.ds6-17+deb13u1+e1 or later.
