|
|
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 ">=dev-db/firebird-2.0.3.12981.0-r5"</code>
