Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-db/firebird < 2.0.1 >= 2.0.1 Description =========== Cody Pierce from TippingPoint DVLabs has discovered a buffer overflow when processing "connect" requests with an overly large "p_cnct_count" value. Impact ====== An unauthenticated remote attacker could send a specially crafted request to a vulnerable server, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firebird. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time.
