44 |
Viesturs reported that the default configuration for Gentoo's init |
45 |
script ("/etc/conf.d/firebird") sets the "ISC_PASSWORD" environment |
46 |
variable when starting Firebird. It will be used when no password is |
47 |
supplied by a client connecting as the "SYSDBA" user. |
48 |
</p> |

<impact type="normal"> |
51 |
<p> |
52 |
A remote attacker can authenticate as the "SYSDBA" user without |
53 |
providing the credentials, resulting in complete disclosure of all |
54 |
databases except for the user and password database (security2.fdb). |
55 |
</p> |

<workaround> |

<p> |
59 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
60 |
</p> |

</workaround> |

<resolution> |
63 |
<p> |
64 |
All Firebird users should upgrade to the latest version: |
65 |
</p> |
66 |
<code> |
67 |
# emerge --sync |
68 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-db/firebird-2.0.3.12981.0-r6"</code> |
69 |
<p> |
70 |
Note: /etc/conf.d is protected by Portage as a configuration directory. |
71 |
Do not forget to use "<i>etc-update</i>" or "<i>dispatch-conf</i>" to |
72 |
overwrite the "firebird" configuration file, and then restart Firebird. |
73 |
</p> |
