Firebird: Buffer Overflow A buffer overflow in Firebird might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. firebird 2015-12-30 2015-12-30: 1 460780 remote 2.5.3.26780.0-r3 2.5.3.26780.0-r3

Firebird is a multi-platform, open source relational database.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error when processing requests from remote clients.

A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, or cause a Denial of Service condition.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All Firebird users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-db/firebird-2.5.3.26780.0-r3"

NOTE: Firebird package was moved to the testing branch (unstable) of Gentoo. There is currently no stable version of Firebird, and there will be no further GLSAs for this package.
