Package: firebird1.5
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Hi,
the following CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id was
published for firebird1.5.
CVE-2007-4992[0]:
| Stack-based buffer overflow in the process_packet function in
| fbserver.exe in Firebird SQL 2.0.2 allows remote attackers to execute
| arbitrary code via a long request to TCP port 3050.
If you fix this vulnerability please also include the CVE id
in your changelog entry.
I had a look at remote/server.cpp, the vulnerable code is
the following:
3049: TEXT msg[128];
...
3064 if (string = port- port_user_name) {
3065 sprintf(msg,
3066 "SERVER/process_packet: connection rejected for %*.*s",
3067 string- str_length, string- str_length,
3068 string- str_data);
3069 gds__log(msg, 0);
For further information:

Kind regards
Nico

With the removal of firebird1.5 from the archive, its security bugs are
no longer a concern.
firebird1.5 is removed as upstream has no intent of providing any kind
of support to it, including security support.
