Package : firebird2
Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2004-2043
BugTraq ID : 10446
Debian Bug : 357580

Aviram Jenik and Damyan Ivanov discovered a buffer overflow in
firebird2, an RDBMS based on InterBase 6.0 code, that allows remote
attackers to crash.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain firebird2 packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.5.1-4sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.5.3.4870-3

We recommend that you upgrade your firebird2 packages.
