+    <p>
+    Firebird is an open source relational database that runs on Linux,
+    Windows, and various UNIX systems.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>
+    A buffer overflow exists in three Firebird binaries (gds_inet_server,
+    gds_lock_mgr, and gds_drop) that is exploitable by setting a large
+    value to the INTERBASE environment variable.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    An attacker could control program execution, allowing privilege
+    escalation to the UID of Firebird, full access to Firebird databases,
+    and trojaning the Firebird binaries. An attacker could use this to
+    compromise other user or root accounts.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All users should upgrade to the latest version of Firebird:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge sync
+    
+    # emerge -pv "&gt;=dev-db/firebird-1.5"
+    # emerge "&gt;=dev-db/firebird-1.5"</code>
