<p>
|
|
A buffer overflow exists in three Firebird binaries (gds_inet_server,
|
|
gds_lock_mgr, and gds_drop) that is exploitable by setting a large
|
|
value to the INTERBASE environment variable.

<impact type="high">
|
|
<p>
|
|
An attacker could control program execution, allowing privilege
|
|
escalation to the UID of Firebird, full access to Firebird databases,
|
|
and trojaning the Firebird binaries. An attacker could use this to
|
|
compromise other user or root accounts.

<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround.

</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All users should upgrade to the latest version of Firebird:

<code>

|
|
|
# emerge -pv ">=dev-db/firebird-1.5"
|

# emerge ">=dev-db/firebird-1.5"</code>
