Synopsis |
19 |
======== |
20 |
|
21 |
Multiple vulnerabilities in Firebird may allow the remote execution of |
22 |
arbitrary code. |
23 |
|
24 |
Background |
25 |
========== |
26 |
|
27 |
Firebird is a multi-platform, open source relational database. |
28 |
|
29 |
Affected packages |
30 |
================= |
31 |
|
32 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
33 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
34 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
35 |
1 dev-db/firebird < 2.0.3.12981.0-r5 >= 2.0.3.12981.0-r5 |
36 |
|
37 |
Description |
38 |
=========== |
39 |
|
40 |
Firebird does not properly handle certain types of XDR requests, |
41 |
resulting in an integer overflow (CVE-2008-0387). Furthermore, it is |
42 |
vulnerable to a buffer overflow when processing usernames |
43 |
(CVE-2008-0467). |
44 |
|
45 |
Impact |
46 |
====== |
47 |
|
48 |
A remote attacker could send specially crafted XDR requests or an |
49 |
overly long username to the vulnerable server, possibly resulting in |
50 |
the remote execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user |
51 |
running the application. |
52 |
|
53 |
Workaround |
54 |
========== |
55 |
|
56 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
57 |
|
58 |
Resolution |
59 |
========== |
60 |
|
61 |
All Firebird users should upgrade to the latest version: |
62 |
|
63 |
# emerge --sync |
64 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-db/firebird-2.0.3.12981.0-r5" |
65 |
