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

<impact type="normal">
|

|
<p>
|
||
|
|
A remote attacker can authenticate as the "SYSDBA" user without
|
||
|
|
providing the credentials, resulting in complete disclosure of all
|
||
|
|
databases except for the user and password database (security2.fdb).

<workaround>
|

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

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