  <title>Firebird: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
  <synopsis>
    Multiple vulnerabilities in Firebird may allow the remote execution of
    arbitrary code.
  </synopsis>

  <bug>208034</bug>
  <access>remote</access>
  <affected>
    <package name="dev-db/firebird" auto="yes" arch="*">
      <unaffected range="ge">2.0.3.12981.0-r5</unaffected>
      <vulnerable range="lt">2.0.3.12981.0-r5</vulnerable>

  <background>
    <p>
    Firebird is a multi-platform, open source relational database.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    Firebird does not properly handle certain types of XDR requests,
    resulting in an integer overflow (CVE-2008-0387). Furthermore, it is
    vulnerable to a buffer overflow when processing usernames
    (CVE-2008-0467).
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could send specially crafted XDR requests or an
    overly long username to the vulnerable server, possibly resulting in
    the remote execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
    running the application.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Firebird users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-db/firebird-2.0.3.12981.0-r5&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
