|
36 |
Description |
37 |
=========== |
38 |
|
39 |
Adriano Lima and Ramon de Carvalho Valle reported that functions |
40 |
isc_attach_database() and isc_create_database() do not perform proper |
41 |
boundary checking when processing their input. |
42 |
|
43 |
Impact |
44 |
====== |
45 |
|
46 |
A remote attacker could send specially crafted requests to the Firebird |
47 |
server on TCP port 3050, possibly resulting in the execution of |
48 |
arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firebird |
49 |
(usually firebird). |
50 |
|
51 |
Workaround |
52 |
========== |
53 |
|
54 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
55 |
|
56 |
Resolution |
57 |
========== |
58 |
|
59 |
All Firebird users should upgrade to the latest version: |
60 |
|
61 |
# emerge --sync |
62 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-db/firebird-2.0.3.12981.0-r2" |
